$1,000.00 be transferred to Mr. Jerome's account. Before the receipt of your letter, Mr. Cowles had sold Mr. Jerome's lot on the corner of Woodward and Bellmont Avenues, to Bishop Foley as a site for a new Catholic Church, and as it was a cash transaction, and the full amount of the purchase price paid in on July 19th, I did not transfer the $1,00.00 to his account. He received $50.00 a foot on the Woodward frontage of 130 feet, and the net amount realized was about $6,200.00. Colonel Hecker has purchased $5,000.00 of Wabash Portland Cement Company's Bonds, subject to Mr. Jerome's approval.
