MY VENERABLE FRIEND-Never wuz
stricters more unjust than them wich yoo
hev piled onto our mutual friend, A john
son. Eff 700 don't believe it ask Mrs
Cobb. The fact is the parden biznss ez a
biznis was played out u yeer ago. Every
Constooshnel Southern man which he'd
the cash about his person to prokoor a
parden with, and was ambishus NV hevin
that document about him, prokoored it
long ago. Eff 700 don't believe it ask
Mrs. Cobb. The biznes was good one
while it lastid, and then wuz when yoo
shood hev struck in. II required $500 to
sekoor the services NV them wich he'd the
ear NV His Eggslency, and ez ther wuz
thousands of Constooshnel Union men
who served under Lee and Booregard
who wanted pardons that they mite run
for Congris, hev Post Offices and siCh,

lieve it ask Mrs. Cobb. But this class
wuz eggshausted long since. There wuz

they had done no wrong-but on the con
trary, that great wrong he'd bin done
them. They were willing TO magnani-
mously forgive the Fedrals, but shood

the runnin Nv the pardon biznis, he'd
every facility given us. Eff 700 don't be-
leeVe il ask Mrs. Cobb. SO long ez there
wuz dollar TO be he'd, we got that dollar.
When we he'd squeezed all the joose there
was in that partikeler lemon wat less Good
His Eggslency do than to give away the
dry peel? How genrous TO extend mercy
free gratis to them wich hedn't stamps to
buy it with? Wat wuz the yoose NV
holdin the terrors NV the law over men NV
whom nothin can be nader Eff there wuz
another in the Confedracy who he'd dol
