Another splendid day. Went to work late this morning. Found some Unions in front of the shop. I wrote them fellows a quite a while ago, not to send any more, but the dont seem to care. Well it is theyr loss & not mine. Wrote to Martha and the news Co. and returned all the headings, papers and Magazines what I had here and much now settle off and collect my claims. Heffernan was in the shop to talk over Business matters. It looks as when he wants to go back on his word. His clerk didnt tend to the business and he tries to blame me for it.
s. o. s.
I feel awfull lonesome without Martha and wish with all my heart, that she may return soon and in good health. I am most certain that we need not be afraid but still I am anxious as to her welfare. I hope it will not take long, till this thing is over and hereafter we are to be more careful in in cutting One.
