The human either had a grievance
against the writer or had one against
the one referred to in the article from

by the undersigned, but will be used
to further orders in the following:
/ understand the human. after read.
ing the article, made the remark some
thing like this, that Lone Star down
at RlvesyilIe had better soak his head
