Scope and content
- June 21st 1907. Dear Eva: Well they have your fireplace built of chocolate colored pressed brick-the shelf is not on it yet, The big chimney is above the roof of the house-the plastering around the chimney and in the closets upstairs has the first coat on and may get the other this afternoon or tomorrow. The painting is going along slowly--only one painter here today. My room is papered and painted and we are dusting and moving the things in today. Then they will commence on my old room--they are closing up the ? ing about the chimney on the outside. The last brick they brought up were yellow soft things and I wouldn't let them put them on the chimney or it would have been done. They have not quite finished the plate rail. They sent up some of the pieces and the teamsters put them on the bottom of the load and they got all bruised but the carpenter wouldn't put them up--so we are waiting and it takes a day ot two to get anything. The cherries are ripe. The new asparagus is coming up nicely--everything I planted is up nicely as ever. --Daddy. I cannot tell all I want to for fear you would catch ??
