Where was going to lay side
$3.50 per mo-. | amt laying nothing
side g. they don't seem to be no chance
of ever saveing nickel unlest we
don't cat nothing & you know Charley
wasent never the man to starv my
self to death. I told the man down
to the bank a bout the radiators &
the bath tub & he says l should ought
to of had some sort of written con
track with the archateck SO he
couldent keep hanging them things
on me all the vile but its to late no"

DROTHER Charley. we'll Charley
- I'm up against it now right. We
was so busy down to the station &
a round town that I dident get out
to Allison for wks. & l went out
there vest. & went to the house Il
they wasent no body working & I
seen / of the naybers & they says
they hasent been no body working
for wk. tho the weathers been
grand & they should ought to be hus-
ling on the job to get it FINISHED be-
fore the / of March.
called the archateck up & asked
him what was comeing OF & he says
the contrackter couldent do no more
till he get some more lumber the
lumber Co. wouldn't let the con
trackter have no more because II
wouldent trust him for no more
| money & if would garantee the
money all right. what do you know
about that Charley?
/ says why should I garantee the
, money when it's all down to the bank
| e. the archsteck says that dident
. make no difference to the lumber Co.
j because the contrackter all ready got
all the lumber that was called for in
the contrack E. now he wanted some
more & says what for &. he says
the contrackter used more lumber
then the archateck thot they was
going to need well I says l wouldent
garantee nothing the archateck
says he wouldent neither If he was
me but il we couldent get no more
lumber the work would be held up
till we did get some 80 there you are.
i / talked to the man down to the
bank & he says the contrackter was
ent no good & dident have no credit
& il he used more lumber then the
cOnITaCR cdlleu LOT ne SDOuiu OuBnl
to pay for it him self SO / called up
the contrackter & told him a bout it
& he says he was sick Of the job any
way & / could go jump in the lake
because he wasent going to do no
Job where he was loosing money.
1 told them that down to the bank
e. the man says I could make the
contrackter finnish the job but if he
couldent get no credit & dident want
| to finnish the job ] wouldent have
| no house for yr. or just as long as
the contrackter felt like. I says no
because 1t says right in the contrack
! that the house must be all done by
] the 1 of march & the man at tho bank
| says yes but suppose it aint done
then what will you do A bout 1t. I
says l will sue the contrackter and
they says you couldent get nick el
because theys no penalty in the con-
track for him not getting threw by
the l Of march & even if they was
J you couldent get nothing out of him
| if he's broke & hes probly broke or
else they wouldent be no trouble a
bout him getting credit.
So I went to the archateck & talk
| ed il over with him & ne says the
contrackter under bid on the con-
| track & seen he couldn't build no
