my friend. this is first kidnapping me and
in the second place it is treating your pris-
oner with cruelty. Laughter. l know
you do not want me to exert myself
for 1 am reserving myself Tor tomorrow,
and I have promised my friends here to
spread myself then. Michigan is a sister
state of Ohio, and although when
l was almost a boy, there were some
little disturbance between our states, l
an not disposed to take the advantage we
got. Laughter. I am inclined to think
the Michiganders were pretty sharp
people. Allow me to simply return my
thanks. We have always been good
friends; we will always continue to be-"
The party then returned to the yacht and
proceeded on their way to Oakland.
