boys have tluded to write to you;
and Ak for lie more time. The

strate, nor ilip; aud ought TO be
turned out.,t you conclude TO do
so, | am autiz d to recommend
10 you Cal.Cooper, or MIR. Nc
Clung, or Fsps myself would at
tend to the Riness as we'll as most
any body. 5 fact is, the boys
round here ut wstebin, or they IL
take sumthi A few days ago |
neard they spunded Two Of our best
citizens becss they was named
Fort and .Spter. Most of them
are SO hot thsaIly siz when youpour

they mako u.heir military comps-
aies here nos when mn applies
to jins the 1an.etrs, they serink-

Mr.. Linkha, sir, privstsly sPaak-
ing, I'm sfrai I'll get in q tight
place here snsg these bloads snd
have to elopbus Of it, and | would
liks muxh tolaye Your Scotch cap
and cloak, vat you travelled in te
Washington suppose you Weuldn t
be likely to lie the same disgiss a.
gain xhen yt left, and therefore |
would .propo. swsp. I'm 5 feet
S, and could it my plOw hritohes
and coat to Ju 10 eight or ten days
if you csn Wit that long. | want
you to write to me immediately a.
bout things fneraily, and let US know
where itend to do your fghtin.
Your proklmashun says somethln
about takinpossession of the public
property atI".M Hazards. We
cant find NJ sioh a place on the map.
thobght must be about Charles
ton, or Saw Innsb, or Harper's Ferry,
but they sly it amt anywhere down
South. Ole man said it was iittle
factory on IN islani in Lake Cham
plain, whers they made sand-bags
My opinionis thai sand bag bushes:
wont pay, and it i a great waste o
money. Oar boy here carry thei'
sand in their skzards, where /
keeps better and il always handy
I'm afraid your government is g'vi'
you and your kah hgaroo a heap o
unnecessary troubf, and my humbl
advice is if things don't work tette
soon, you'd better grease ii or trad
the darned old thing off. I'D lax
rails or anything else for tiff
could see you I'd show yeu o sligl
of hand trick that would change tt
whole concern into buttons quicl
II yeu don't trade, or DO somethl
else with it soon, it will srle or d
on your hands Certain.
Give my best respects to b
Suar,l and the other members OF Il
Kangaroo. What's Hannibal doi'
/ don't bear ANYTHING from him 20
adays. Yours with care.
