-June 6th-
Have today leased my lot corner
Cushman & First Ave. to George Apple
for three years - $200 per month for
the first year - $300. per month for the
second year & $250. per month for the
third year. He is also to put a good
building on the lot to cost not less than
$5000. and I have the privilege of
buying it at the end of the term at one
half its actual value. This makes
an average rental of $3600 per year for
the whole lot - the part formerly leased
to Tom Pierce for restaurant purposes
bringing me an additional $53.75
per month. River rising - the "Rock
Island" & "Leah" are coming & ought to
get in without trouble. Raining up river
Working to finish my house &c
