when he left the place.
If w. J. Feary had consented to
these parties taking away with them
their pipes, why should he stop me
from taking mine? In my opinion Mr..
Feary is not doing the right thing.
So / ask the kindness of the MEM

for the loss of my fence, as it was
given away to a society called the
