II you see old 49,, he might know ii
they are all houses along the back that
side. / think they are.
Iknow there is lot Of waste ground
in front Of some new houses. but there
Is not. the same yard. Idare say could
jump the gate that divides them, but
that all takes time, and time is what /

should have been away then. was SO
certain of that that ! made up my mind
go straight to the and see old -
and get sub, and then of to White
chapel, and time spoilt me again. On
Saturday night II somebody, as the van
goes along, just quiets that policeman

after the van and jump on the step and
put an air-pistol through the railing
without exciting any notice OF II. The
sergeant could be drugged before he

what should do when get out. Even
the shirts are stamped with the broad

all day, il came in the morning, and /
think that would be the best now, as
they keep on coming and looking all
night There's no one in the grounds
all night, and if any one could get in
about nine Or ten o'clock with couple
of fine saws / could be out in twenty
minutes, but the van would be the best,
! think, but they want to mind and get
the right one, and it ought to be done as
near the prison as possible. 1t is not so
busy up here, | think Only do all you
can. / am doing my best, as much for
you as for myself. My hands are all
sore with blisters with using these bits
Of things That saw dug hole in my
hand on Saturday. Ask - about the
saw and see what he says. What would
l not do for him. You could get little
thing for two shillings six pence. Tell
him the morning is the best, because
there would be no more evidence given.
So hope you have got the things away
from York street Come up as soon as
you can, as / shall want to know If any
one will be there Good bye, Polly.
May Heaven bless you. y Chicago
