was something wrong, I searched the records
and could find no mention of il; l went to
her and told her of it, she flew into n passion
and had me arrested; l was persuaded to
plead guilty. the case vas stated to the re-
corder, yet he fined me one dollar and cost;
L had given my wife all the money / had, al
SO my baby, and OF course I could not pay
1t. l done nothing more tran u fathers duty
and l do believe if l could get you to bring
the case before the council tonight. and let
the state my case, they would remit my fine
