(1952 June 24)
ME is selling out all household goods because the house has been sold to the city for site of new West Side School.... There are 5 volumes of Macauley's History of England, and I said, "How much?" thinking to get them for you. I said 50 cents when they said, "Make me a price." ME said - "Give them to her - give them to her - take them away!" Then when I gathered my things up (he had been drinking beer steadily and acted none too steady) when we were adding up what I got, he made out 50 cents a volume was what he thought. I waited a while and offered him $1.00 for the set and he said $2.00.... DE [his sister] was handling things, and she whispered to me to come back later and I could have them for a dollar all right.
