OLD NAN IKE AND HIS HOUSEHOLD U
HIS household consisted of himself. two
or three clerks snd two negro women,
who did the cooking and washing. He
boarded his own clerks, and lodged them
lpOn the floor. One Of his women was a
yOOd-lOoking Indian woman by the name g
If Hsnnah. Hannah was born and raised q
n the ChickasaW Nation, and inherited
rom the tribe great fondness for whis- G

ppesrance and the free use of spirits he

sded that the bOOk-keeper was successful.
I'd acknowledged that he had won Han
