MAYFLowERs ON THE wARPATH.

My recent article under the title,
'Mayt1ower Decay" has stirred that
'olony up. Some Of them would like
10 take me out some dark night and
xukluX me. On the othe; hand, several
who disagreed with the statements
made are trying to bride me by flattery.
II correspondent writes that some OF
the Mayf1ower people returned to Eng
land and a few wandered up into
Wales. He kinks; maybe some Of the
beautiful Evans women he has seen
