CORRESPONDENCE OF THE EXPRESS
THE, FOURTH. EPIsTLE OF TIMOTHY
Otherwise called Tie Book of Mordecai,

1 LIE rOOhiH Ef1olLE OF TIMOTHY
Otherwise called Tie Book Of Mordecai,
And it came to pass in tho first ycGr O
the reign Of Zachary the great King, in the
sixth month, and sixth and twentieth day O
the month, that there arose schism ir
the camp of the Phiistines-the tribe o.
Mordecai against the tribe of Zabouh. For
behold the tribe of Mordecai have by witch
craft and Sorcery deceived the tribe Of
George of Buena Vista, as we'll as George
the Scribe; and did arrogate to themselves
all the spois, that the tribe Of Zaboah did
take from the Republican party of the North
country. -Peradventure there was one office,
which Mordecai could not prevail on King
Zachariah to bestow upon him, or his tribe.
And 1t came to pass on q certain day,
when the Sanhedrim ofthe Philistines were
gathered together, that the tribe of George
OF Buena Vista were in the midst of them
and one William of small stature and fierce
countenance, cried with loud voice and
said,--ye men of the Philistiues! hearken
unto my words this day, lest there be d.
vision in the Camp Of the Philistjnes, and
tho tribe ofZaboah go over to the Republi
can party and we all become again their
servants:--for who doth not know that the
tribe of Mordecai hath used witchcraft Sor.
Gerry and fraud towards the tribe of Zaboah;
and have obtained all the offices, in the
power of the great King Zachary to bestow -,
save one!
Now, therefore, be it known unto thee,
that unless ye aid US in obtaining chat Of
! flee for George of. Buena Vista, from this
day, henceforth, shall the sword ofthe tribe
of George Of Buena Vista be against the
sword ofthc tribe Of Mordecai. Then Nor.
decal said smooth words unto William of
small stature, and said-this day will
write letter to Zachary, the great King,
ana prevail Oh him to bestow on George of
Buena Vista thy request.
But he went out and did unto William.
as he had done in former times unto George
the Scribe. and Philip the Artist, and John
the Sorcerer. And he wrote not unto Zach
arv the King, but unto Henry the Swine
drover, another unjust man and Sinner.
should any letters come to the E,inr from
one Z George e. DDuena Vista, do thou inter.
cept them, lest the plans oflhe trib of Nor
decal be exposed, for we wat not that this
George of Buena Vista should prosper, lest
lie and his tribe should become strong and
prevail over US. Neither is he good, nor
true to the tribe Of Mordecai;--fo- in times
past he voted for one Thomas, Republican,
against one Lucus Iscarot.
Now, therefore, oh Henry, we beseech
thee to go before the great King Zachary,
and tarry not for thy life in all the plain,
but say unto him that Mordecai, tho kee per
OF the Kings money, sends unto thee greet
ing,--saying pray thee appoint Timothy.
the Lawyer TO tho Office of Surveyor Gen
falu oh ,bo pf
with our enemies, he hath the spois of that
office, which doth grieye Our servant rImo-
thy hight and day.
Then Zachary aaid. Us live, will not
turn out of that Office Caleb, until l know
that he hath done evil in my sight.
Now, it came to pass that George of Bue-
a true friend; and justice did cause him to
doings and sayings Of both Mordecai and
ings of Zachary the King concerning Caleb,
the Republican.
Then George became xccedngly wroth,
and he rose up early OH the morrow, and
whet his sword, and called all the tribe Of
Za5oah together. and sent word to Morde-
cal, sayng;-get thee ready to battle! for I
have heard that thou hast dealt treacher-
ously with me, as thou didst with Philip
the Artist, and John the Sorcerer, as we'll
as with Lucus lscariot. Now, therefore,
get thee ready to battle! for to- morrow, we
come down from the hill country, into the
plain, in front Of the castle, and we will
STAY thee utterly; and will new thee down as
Samuel did Agag in days Of old--there
shall not be mothers son left of thee.
And 1t shall come to pass, that the tribe
of Mordecai shall 60 out against the tribe
of George, of Buena Vista, and shall fight
hard against them from the rising of the sun,
to the going down lhereof;--and it shall
come to pass, that neither tribe shall pre-
vail, but there shall be an hundred and one
thousand OF the tribe Of Mordecai slain by
the hand of the tribe Of Zaboah, and hun
drcd and one thousand Of the tribe of "a
boah, by the hand OF the tribe OF Mordecai.
Then it shall come to pass that my SER
want George, the Scribe, shall come down
with his hosts upon the remnant of the tribe
of Mordccai, and shall Stay them utterly, till
there shall be none left to tell the tale.
Then shall the press be restored again to
my servant George, and he shall. declare
unto my people all the acts Of the Sanhe-
drim Of the Philistines, from the days of
King James, down to this day. Then shall
the whole land be at peace again, and my
people shall prosper abundantly.
Thus endeth the fourth Epstle Of the
Book Of Mordecai. St2
