Still hotter than yesterday. Had a little thnder shower at about 1/2 past 5 o’clock. Paper business is rotten. Sold it out to Heffernan to day for 10.00. It is this to cheap but I must get rid of it so I can visit Martha when she is at home. M. is feeling good and helped me in the shop to night. Sent check to the News Co.
