again. Haps. how did the storm serve
you all? 1t served us bad. IL blew our
kitchen and dining room nearly to the
horse lot, and blew our gin house down
and two rent houses down and sheds all
down. We ran out OF the, house at II
O'Clock and stayed at the haystack until
daylight We were nearly frozen when we
came TO the house We could hardly find
dry place in the house. Well, | VIII
