Mixed up weather, clear & cloudy, still & windy. No work came in. Wrote and mailed a letter to Mama. Martha took a walk down street and visited me in the shop. Auntie took a little walk around the college block. I finished a box for Auntie and a billow cover from small pieces of leather. No money came in, thoug I need some the worst way, having just 20 cts left to last for the rest of the week. Don’t know what to do if money is not forthcoming speedly. The boy is feeling fine to day, but the little stinker would stay in his bed towards morning, he wants to sleep between me & Martha. He is growing quick and is quiet healthy and my onliest wish now is, to keep him well and alive.
