Dear Paul

There is no reason why you should not draw some more money if you need it. You might as well pay interest [?] when due. I have about $10000 $1000.? in bank in Chicago after your drawing the 250 which I suppose you drew[.] I have about 3000. here as soon as I get a little more think I will buy a mortgage as you advise[.] Can get perfectly safe ones at 07% some at 08. but will only try to get .07% & will see that it is safe. The rate of interest here is high— The case will go go on Wednesday. I am glad of

it as I want to get through some time. I am very well & am not worrying & have good help & then, I dont see what I can do any how— you need not tell any one what I think about case of course. It looks as if your business was doing well. How many meters have you by this time—

C.S.D.
