Dear Frau:
Am in kitchen while Josephine is getting supper ready. Miss Slattery from
Met Miss Curran this afternoon. She does not look very good but is getting around all night – and works at the same restaurant she formerly worked out.
Mr Shear (as I told you last night) is rooming here.
Mr. Miller just came into the house.
Josie rented one room to-day to a couple who she expects to be permanent. That leaves 2 rooms vacant. Roomers keep shifting pretty well.
Ought to have brought my rain coat with me but will get along.
If I raise the price may run down to see you Sunday. Miss you here. It doesn’t seem quite so much like home without you and the children.
I can’t give you much idea of how business will be yet. Although I am not expecting a $100 week.
Negatives made last night were all right but the lights are not arranged for any good picture. At corners they just have a cluster of lights shaped something like a bell and they are all similar. Then today I monkeyed around all day getting in shape to print and made up some developer and after getting it made up got too much bromide in so that prints would not have good blacks. Will get up early to-morrow and run some off as I know where I am at now, but don’t really anticipate any tremendous sales. If business does not get good will try the country Thursday or Friday. Am not rushed so as to need you assistance up here, but see no reason why you couldn’t be here if printing is all done there and wished to be here. But perhaps we can finish up there better if you stay for a while but if you feel like it you can clear out at any time and come here for a week’s visit if you have the fare.
They have rather bum weather so far for the exposition.
We had five at table to-night for supper. Other was Miss Drumma of Canandaigua. Please send on any mail that will interest me and keep any that won’t where I can look it over.
Write
Yours truly,
Max
