And then Mr.. Durham, Won ara

What's the reason Durham. that =.
can't let decent men like Lysander N. Z
bitt alone? If he don't want TO mir q
with the Niger, guess it is none 81 -,
business. He's tried that and he kno.s**

and he has as much right to chanss re
taste as his principles. Babbitt, nv y.

that you had some idea Of his origin.
which Mr.. Dean, himself, has no Know
edge, and he's preacher, and understan4
Bible genealOgy much better than you n
tho you did trace him back rs far rs the dan
of Job. (Horse-whip the fellow for his &
science, Dean.) =
Now, Mr.. Durham, have, in this On

my mind pretty freely, but you are Sud
