read his letters for him myself so don't
be afraid of Poriirio, for he is trying the
same thing. He is trying to get Octavia-
no to help him ont of his trouble and if
was you / would let him know what he
was doing and you could tell him you
could squeal on him as well as he could
on you. You say you did not want to
send in anything by that Frenchman and
that he was Democrat. l know he is,
and besides l think he ID dam stinker
also, and you had better be careful what
you say to him. For Gods sake try and
get me some tobacco, and whenever you
have any leave it at - the same as
you do a letter, and make sign when
there is something there for me. This
letter you sent me to-day, was not look
ing for it, because You said you would
leave it in So was not looking
for it, and it got into one of those Mex
leans hands, but lucky he could not read
1t, but he tried mighty hard to do 80 be-
fore he gave it to me. Do try and get me
some tobacco. l have not heard from
Marcos since he got out, nor got any
anything to Cayeta for me, have never
got it. Goodbye and be careful.
As soon as you have any news let me
know and try and get me paper
SECOND LETTER TO DUTCH.
Dutch:-I received your long letter IN
which you say do not need to be afraid
of going to the pen. You do not say why
you think go. You expect person to
jump at conclusions. Now, Dutch, if you
know for certain, why don't You let me
know. might have been fool, as You
say, for doing what l did, but that has
nothing to do with it now. The thing is
to get out of it. Whoever tells You or
anyone else that showed them tools to
anyone outside lies, and tell them that I
say so. With regards to Portirio, do just
as you please. 1 am not afraid of him.
can whenever want to. have
not said anything to him about our cor
respondence and do not intend to either.
All right, old boy, send me some tobacco
soon as you can. Yes, I remember you
saying that Patricio would bring Marcos
into trouble and Marcos knows it, for
hs told me himself that Chino told him
what Patrico had said and was doing,
but Marcos says he does not care a dam
for the whole thing, that they can not do
a thing to him. About the part that
Marcos or Chino or any of the rest of
them took ir the killing of Chavez, do
not know for certain, only from hearsay;
as l was not here then. l was in I'll Paeo
when Chavez was killed. Now, you want
to know if 7 know for certain what Chino
says about Marcos is so. So You can
send word to Marcos as a warning. To
tell the truth, Dutch, do not know, but
l would advise you to let Marcos know if
you can. But somehow do not believe
Marcos is in town or he would have sent
me some tobacco before now. just as
ycu say it seems as though him and my
friends had gsne back on me, or they
would have done something for me be-
fore now. In all truth it does look that
way. But I do not choose to condemn
them yet. They may not be to blame.
Perhaps those fellows would not let them.
l know myself that Cunningham gave me
permission to 60 out and he tol1 Cage
tano to take me, but Cayetano will not
do it and think it is play that they are
both into. You say it looks as though I
took this thing on myself or the party
would help me out. I did. | took the
whole thing on my own shoulders and
even if have to go to the pen it is O. K.
will take it like a man. Now, you say
you want to know just what the pros
poets are. Now, you know just as much
as do, as have not seen anyone since
you and me seen them together in the
court do not know what they are do
ing. It looks like they were all asleep.
You have fooled me twice by giving
signs and once by your own mouth. You
said there was something in the --.
Now, do not care much for that, but it
might make them suspicious to see me
going SO often. When you have tobacco,
leave it at --; also give me sign when
to go for it.
Adios amigo.
