black and polished gentleman Of great
breadth OF beam, being about 50 years OF age,
built after the ancient style OF architecture,
and having voice which reminded one Of
woman trying to sing bass. He said:

expected pleasure invited myself heah dis
eavenin' to address you on subject of deep
est interest to boat de United Stats an

IF anybody wanted TO go out befo' break
fast or sTter breakfast an catch fish dere was
