Letter from Dick Dorr.
Los Angeles, June 30, 1907.
lr. Marshall jenkins,

VIII start out win TINS caption
l1orrow Of Horrors. have called
down on my unprotected head the
scorn and derison of the Record
Press, from the fact that have been
a patron Of the Press since its encep-
ton. | could not believe that |
could say anything TO it that would
cause it to censure me as IN its Issue
OF June Goth.
The learned scribe. of the afore
said paper, says that "R. b. Dorr--
aud, and, has fred broadsde at
this paper and has emigrated as far
West as he can without wetting his
feet in the Pacific ocean, and in his
last says that, IF we wished we
might send his letter TO to that Hog
waller Item Teller " did not say
any such thing Here is what |
said, II hand you herewith problem
which | wish you to submit to the
consideration of the wise Guy at
Hogwaller, that is the first exager-
alton. Now the next is, that | have
gone as far West as | can without
wetting my feet in the Pacific ocean.
Now, ! wish to place myself in the
right light before my friends and
patrons OF The Crittenden Record
Press. ! think the learned scribe
gets beyond himself and exaggerates
largely, for think am inocent OF
firing anything at the Record Press
no. not even the smallest Chinese
fire cracker.
Now, | did not know that either
Of the editors, of the aforesaid paper
was the wise Guy of Hogwaller
and | would love for any of my
friends to call at the Record Press
office aud see that problem and if it
can be said that it is a broadside
fred AT the Record Press, then will
make the necessary appohges.
Now, to foot up she charges Of the
honorable scribe he says, that | have
fired a broadside at the Record Press,
that have bathed my feet in the
Pacific ocean. Now, | say he has
exaggerated and Roosevelt says, at
might be called by a shorter word.
have batbed my feet in the frothy
surge, of the mighty Pacific several
times aud the last was on Decoration
day. | rolled may pants above my
knees and bare footed. waded in the
foaming surf aud have thought since
if had the wise Guy" from Hog
waller in the surf, | could have
washed all the dirt and mango from
his hide, which has accumulated
there in his present abode.
Now, think those two assertions
bears a. much truth on their face as
his turkey yarn, of which he has
mailed me two postals caricaturing
me as drunk, one of which | have
returned to him with complaint,
which he will receive in due time if
"mine brudder' don't forget it.
While | will admit that | sm not
entirely innocent of the transgression
of the grand doctrine Of the W. {.
IT. L. wonder, Oh wonder, il
the genial hearted scribe is altogether
innocent, if he is, then the turkey Is
his.
