non says he is not a decrepid old man
at all, but if he was to be rediculed on
that score, he would not care to go be-

appearing to tlatter that in all my
experience as a contractor for govern

in my position expects to be plucked
of his feathers. He is expected by any
number of people to feather his nest
at the expense of the government, and
some of these look upon him as legit
innate prey when they themselves want
feathers, and the poor contractor is
lucky indeed if he escapes their vi
cious beaks and bloody claws.
