I am in my ain Hoose having purchased this property & in a fine quiet environment & yet within 200 yard of Union St. I have one tenant down (on ground floor) & I am up above, then I have two tenants above me. Previous to this I have been 12 years a wanderer in Hotels. These are houses of refuge for bachelors. I had a shot at London recording a host of Melodies on Columbia Cos: Sidcs. These may soon be in the Market & 'My Life' is expected to appear in Feb: 'People's Journal' Dundee & may run some Weeks.' ['My Life' refers to the serialisation of his autobiography.] |
