1or Their malishus attack which
Rob Short hav sean fit tew ruaik
on me an my advise tew farmers
threw your Jernil a weak er so
400 I've hunted over this koun-
try tew find Bob Short sense hiz
attack ON me, an he can no whar
ba found. [ barlieve he is a
sneakin kuss strikin at me un-
der false non de ploom, an all
I've got few say IL that all he haz
fer dew iz ter sho hiz he'd, an ef
he don't find out that | no sum
thin about farmin, he'll find that
1no sumthin about snaik KILN.
Thar'll be a Bob Short shore
enuff-ef hiz name IL Bob; but
wbatsumever hiz naim IL Their
kountry'll be short of his pres
euce fer sumtime. I'll maik a
mitv short bizness ov him an hiz
insultin kritisism, ef Tom Rollins
knos hizself an he think he do.
Mistur Eddytur, I think [ no

ism. I've been ritin fer ther pa
purs about 20 yeers ov my life, an
I've never sean SO 10 a down at

waz hittin at Their farmers by Their
argyment ad hog an honinym fer
