Got up in time. Helped Martha to get theyr washing in working order. Got fine weather and not to hot. Paper business was rotten. Received more work. Received a check from Forbes Library and paid the News Co., Carley & Heffernan. Must have more money or die. Will sell out or give up Paper business, for Martha soon goes home to await her confinement so I would like to have a chance to go out Sundays to see how she is getting along. Received a letter from Mama, some bills and a letter from a Springf. lawyer. Piper will bring suit to recover 16 dollars for work done on my ruling machine. I will refuse payment, because the machine is not yet in working order. Got a Tax bill for the amount of $8.20. Dont know yet, how I can pay it. Money is to scars.
