So if you will trust me, that 1 will do what I say and swear to it, and send me money enough, say $30, to get to Navajo station, 1 will l 20 right back. See Stover and some ] others, not too many, or Sol will get 10 ! hear 1t and leave; for if 90 back and tell what 1 know, he will lose lots of money and go to prison besides-and save the county more money than any body thinks-for Sol got the lion $ share, and the warrants have not been paid as yet Now, Ed, I am in earnest and mean what l sav-he has not done what he agreed to do, and l swear 1 will get even with him, if have to die in prison for it.
