Dear Lawrence,
Here s a letter Mr. Doane wrote to you Saturday but did not send out until this morning. He asked me if your offer to furnish paint for the church still held good and I told him I did not know, that I - personally - would not agree to give the money for it until after the 1st of Jan. if you had so promised, because I had other obligations to meet now. He said they could get the paint easy enough on time if you wanted to stand good for it. I told him to write to you about it. Seba said she would pay you $5 toward it if you furnish it, I think they have gone on painting the church hoping to hear fromally from you. I saw a notice in yesterday morning Journal (Oct 11) from Uruguay, [?], saying that grasshoppers had returned to that country in vast numbers. Will borrow the Journal from someone and send. The girls must have taken it to wrap their lunch in. I start for Omaha in a few hours.
In haste,
Marcia
