4 Letter from, -. Slick,

MISTER EDIrUR Our family have not appeared
in print lately, if l remember ri,ely not sence Sam
rubbed L.. 3. eout. By the way, L.. B.. has taken
10 law in Lahainy, and if you've emmy long windsd
bills for your valuable paper, perhaps he could col
lect EN-.
l should Mt have rit you sgin. only sumthin
has come 10 my knowledge that's set our whole
family to lain, and l feel 1 must say sumthin' or
burst. We seldom say much, but it's aptto be pinted.
hearn tell that the Privy Council,-eOmposed
Of so many creeds and nashunal;ties, that it puts
me in mind Of a piebald hos.-has bin givin'
out letters patent Of nobility TO tn e folks as il
goin to England. and if Queen Victory and her sweet
don't respect 'em, why l propose that the Minister
of Form Affairs get the loan Of Billy Seward's
pen, and give EN- a diplomatic rubin deown.
II L. BIS friend Tommy goes with the crowd, why, let him be
Tommy anythiug-helikes, as he is one OF the religious pur-
suasion. II I had q say I would make the sweet larger, as
there IS plenty more Of the same sort, witch can be spared as
well as not, If not better, and from the way some Of Uncle
Sans boys are hangin' around with yictory's representative, I
think they must be hankerin' after a chance if 50, ITEM so,
ve can spare 'em.
hear that them titles have been given with a view to econo-
my, and if so, it is quite commenderbul, and 1 wish they would
leave some Of them views behind them.
AS I shan't proherbly see the members OF the mail gender
before they leave, I take this opportunity to send a message or
two, thru 'em to Misses Victory and Mister Bonypart, or 10
their prime ministers. If by chance they shouldn't be allowed
TO see the simon pure critters. l want 'em to AK those
rooers to send some more ships here, and take down this
flag, carry it away, smash up the kaIerbashes. and knock the
arms of the big guns, &c, as this government rather takes
TO that ruff stile Of treatment,-lke a yaIer spanul I onct
had,-and then the government will make holidays Of the an
niversarys when they come round, and have a big time IN
cooded. and If any of Uncle Sans boys come in and try
TO save 'em with their puritanlcal prayers and advice, why set
up a state church over 'em and knock their skule sstem intu
smash and if this don't make 'en enigrate, why let 'em do
as Tommy's fathers did with their fathers, on or about the
22end Of December, 1920, and crowd them eut to find another
rock to land on.
I don't wish to be considered personal nor sarcaustic, but
you see there's precedent for all his, as the Aforementioned
Billy :. would say.
If the Minister Of Form Affairs is goin to send emmy more
: pub. docs.n with this crowd. 1 would suggest he send some
of Tommy's books, witch he or the st. Georges Club rt, and
wen I find time 1 will set sum of my primary skule boys at
work to answer il, and send them gratis, together with sum Of
your papers where you revoOei the government paper and its
English friend. and where that Roman Catholic chap axes
Tommy and his hackers some impertinent questions, and is
peart enuf to ak for answers, when he knows, and so does emmy
body else, that Tommy has neither he'd nor hart to answer
'em. Speaking about books, the st. Georges dragon people
have rit one and put the names of their folks in it. 1 saw one or
tn who have sed they had Uncle SANS liberalization papers
If so, where have they put 'eml I can't think they would do it
to make money. 1 believe in ftin shy of ships as carries tn
flags, and hereby Civ warnin' to all good St. George chaps Of
these turncoats.
And last but not least, as one good turn deserves another,
if 7. goes 1 wish he wood take one of Uncle SIS boys along
with him, that's wandered out here and presented him
trubled with hi cathedral on the brain, and he'd be better off
in some continental asnum where the rest of unces family
couldn't see him, for 1 sweow it makes 'em all blush to see
S. SLICK.
I. s-sence I rt the abuv, one of Queen Victory's nobility
TUX deown the eagle bird of freelum from our representatives
gate, and then had to put it back agin: That served him rite
trymen wud be to let that bird alone. He's apt to get rantanker-
and wen he duz, why just ak the dragon or them seees6ers
what is apt to happen. SIS
