Brethren, if hev to pay the debt, wat
difference docs it make to who levies the

person wich levies the tax wich I obiekt

If / hev to pay gold why not ez well

Likewise is my soul vexed at another
thing, wich cant or wont git over. On
nv way to Moo York where | wuz so
yilely yoosed, I wuz compelled either to
stand up or sit down i'll a seat with a

with this rigger on terms NV ekality all
the way down to Moo York, wher II lost
my vest, et-settry, and his sect in the
Conyenshun WIZ next to mine. I stood
| this, but at our boardin house, only two
squares from were I lost my boots, &C.,
with the American flag floating over our
