place I'll bet that Amt your real
name because if it really was your
real name you had ought TO have
had it changed by the board of
trustees or whoever it is that chang
es names. because, don't you see
that il is a bum name if you should
read il and separate the first name
and I'll bet you wouldn't stand for
name like that if it was your
real name. And in the second place
why should you write a yetter TO
fellow like Jake and leave it
open so that everybody could read
what was in il. especially BARRIERS
what tell you their hfes history
every time they shave you. And in
the third place how would come il
10 of been printed in the paper if
it was regular letter, and in the
fourth place / think the whole thing

Now if you was really at the

comes il that you tells about only

and leaves out the most important
Of what took place. l know why II
VAS. il was because you didn't see

took place where you was at, and
nothing that you tell about took
place over so feet away from where
the sauseages was cooked or the
lemonade bucket stood. excepting
when YOU was in the dineing room
or looking at the blond lady who
YOU says was hampered by her
husband and then you got that all
wrong because she wasn't hampered
in the least because I was watching
her. 1t was some of the fellows and
bet one OF them, was you. that
was hampered by him. The only one
that wasn't hampered was Clarence

saw could hamper him and he sent a
whole hat full OF peanuts 10 the
little boy what belonged 70 the
blond Just so that she would thank
him. but instead OF that what did
she do but have her husband do

around the eating department all
