hev q room to myself to which my meals
is sent, 1 hev my own private bottle, and
the labor is light, though the responsible.

sent here by the Nashnel Democratic Com.
mittee to take charge nv these premises,

first work wus the inspeeshun Nv the axes
ON the farm, which the g1eat and good
Hooris yooses ON his trees. I found them
all too heavy for dch continyuous chop
pin ez he hez to do. With them axes his
strength wood give out long afore the cam
pane is oyer. Iordered . hale dozen light
-er ones, and sold the stock on hand to the
naberin farmers, the proceeds Nv wich I
I shell remit to the Nashnsl committee-ef -ef

ladder wieh the great wood-chopper yoos-
es to assend trees, wuz not only clumsny
in its construlshen, but dangerous; and I
ordered another nv a better pattern. I
I he'd many other things to reform. Just

reported to Hoosis that II would hev .
