Alberta. Oct 7-1933 Second home cost 13,500 sold it for 14,000. Present home cost 12,000. Mortgaged. Got a loan of 2,000 and 1,000 recently borrowed. Weekly cost of living $5. Alice brings in about $65 per month. Albert doesn't bring in on the average more than $30 per month. Consequently money is behind to pay taxes, interest, insurance etc. Therefore the borrowing of 1,000. Will try to sell house but at present cannot get more than $8,000. Will then buy a time apartment house.
