with the work pretty well. The carpenters are shingling the house to-day. We shall have a nice house when it is done but it will cost more than we figured, I have also got that half mile of fence taken up & made along the road, The cellar drain is also unclear The blinds are all here & they are good ones, The brick & some more lumber which I was obliged to get from Chicago have come to Chebanse & I shall send for them this P.M. I was at Chebanse this morning for some nails, That $50 come all right. I have engaged a man to dig a well next week but the roads are so muddy that it will be difficult for me to have the stone hauled, I cannot come home as soon
