big ignorammuses who writ about

turs kno'd more about Their way
Their battles ort ter be fit than

band niger an q Kaintucky
mule tew keep him kompany.

with a two-hoss Brinly, rake it
WITH a fne-tooth come an kulti-
vate my korn an kottin in q sulky

chant in Dawsing that's got a NOR
gige on my krop, nuther. I'd as
soon be yaller dog tied to a Mig

natti, but I've got plenty ov perta-
ters, COOLERS, wheel, otes, korn
hogs and kows to live on, and
Dawsing gifts my cash without
emmy intrust on it tew pay fel
kredit. Eff Dawsing don't like
my ways, why then Dawsing IL
jest az fer from me az [ am from
her, but eff Dawsing IL satisfde
