Findin the Ambassadors so mighty pleased with
my passport, and thinkin I'd show off my larnin a
little more, l asked them if they wouldn't like another
in kanaka, to which they said yes, and L sot down
and writ the following in our vernacular, which l
told them would let them pass free among the injuns
anywhere in North America

So / got through with my official visit, and took
my hat to go, and told the Ambassadors to be sure
aud call On you, for you'd be ready to see them.
And | tell you, Uncle Fake, when you do see them,
you'll be proud of the day that | gave them pass
ports to you. You'll see that they are Teller creeters,
though some seq they amt, and that they are nothin
but heathens- Well, just as l got out on the deck
all the soldiers were mustered in injun file, and
maxim the most infarnal noises with their muskets.
= What on arth's the matter 90 seq l. "You amt
maxim all this ere fuss for me, are you? You might
have saved that fuss jit as well as not, and a tarnal
sight better, for there's no use of musterin the SOL
diers on a Sunday for nothin." Jist then, the Cap
tin comes up, and SEE he. Mr.. Slick, don't be in
haste, wait a mint till the Minister is gone. for we're
a shown off to him." That quieted my feelins, and
then I walked with the Captin all around the deck,
and he showed me the rooms where the japanese
servants slept, and all their curious 6xins. was
raelly surprised at the INGENUITY of these fellers, for
they had all sorts Of the curiosest hxins that ever /
see, and you never seed the like anywhere. The
Captin thought as l did, that they were genuine
Teller creeters, and that We ought to treat 'em as
sich.
After they'd got through a drillin, L bid the Captin
good bye, and jumped up agin over the gangway,
when that Teller with eppalets touched me on the
shoulder, and SEE he, "Mr. Slick, We shall be happy
to see you on board agin." "Yes sir" SEE I, as l
stepped down the stairs into the boat, mighty glad to
get rid of the pesky smell of powder and tar, for / be-
gan to feel a leetle rily about the stomach, and was
glad enough to get ashore agin.
Write me soon, and tell me all about the visit Of
this ere Embassy to Uncle Sans residence in Wash
ington, and what he thinks of the fellers.
Your a1ectionate nefew,
JONATHAN SLICK.
