Bob has written eny more letters to the
miserable. ungrateful Irish deserter,
Shan Dokerty. who ls tryen powerful
hard ter git Governor Bob and our
good, honest, consIenshus Dlmme-
leratick tax collector, Dickey, In an
lorful scrape over sum other Irishman's
pardon. feer Governor Bob hes writ
too much, and think in the fucher,
Governor Bob shuld tell Dlokay quiet.

and how lie wants 1t did In the fucher.

es there Is no tellen In these days inter
the hands of what infermous traitor
