C. W. R.
The house has gotten down so very small, and is going to be so for the next two or three months, we must reduce expenses. You will have to take the kitchen, have Tony accept $25.00 or less, the next three cooks $10.00 less each, and the man getting $35.00 per month, $30.00. Let the butcher go on a vacation, and wherever else you can reduce expenses, do so. We are forced to put on an extra carpenter or two and one or two pipe men, to get the house in shape.
