I was walking out yesterday afternoon down prospect street to see the new houses and I went down by Louie Dykemans home he was in the door yeard and I wanted to ask him something about the painting but was afraid the nearest I came I told him about the tearing down of that old shed gave him a chance but he did not commit himself. I don't suppose he will hardly make himself whole on the job. so is anxious to get the paying jobs while they are good and under the circumstances I thought I would let well enough alone. although I can hardly wait to see the job begun. but Louie is fair and square and don't want any prompting. he never forgets Pa's dealings with the family and I guess its something that will come out right in the end hope so at least. don't buy any more dress goods for one. I have enough more now than I need I go any to wear clothes two dresses I must have worn now. buy for yourself Ma
