Of IL, and resolving 1t should be preserved,
just before starting for Louisville he
wrapped the manuscript around the cane
and tied it with twine.
When the presidents party arrived, Un-
Gle Bob followed them for hours, but could
not get near them. But he kept as close ns
he could till they returned to the hotel
and for a moment were alone In the wash.
