Now I'm goin' to make more y It
seems to bad to leve Il like that.
IL must be very nasty, -
But to worrie, what's the use; :
Better be cam and cheerful, q.
And appli tobaka jooce.
Sometimes feal like gettin' lonesum
but jist keep putin IL Of. I say
to myself / won't git lonesum till
shaw | might as well do another, and
then ! say j won't git lonesurn till
git the pals washed and the fore
scrubbed, and keep settin' it of and
settin' it Of till ! forgit I was goin'
to be.
One day l wuz jist gittin' reddy to
cry. | could feel tears startin' in my
hart, and my throte all hot and lumpy,
thinkin' Of ma and Danny an all Of
them, and I noticed the teakettle jist in
time-it headed skourin'. You bet i
put a shine on 1t, and, of course.
couldn't dab tears on il and muss it up,
so had to wait. Mrs. NJ. duzn't
talk to me. She has mortgage or a
cancer I think botherin' her. Ma
kDowed woman once, and everybuddy
thot she was terrible cross cos she
wouldn't talk at all hardly and when
she died they found she'd tumult in
her insides, and then you bet they
felt good and sorry, when we're cross
at home ma says it's not the strap we
need, but good dose Of kastor oil or
Scany and we git it too.
CESS l got Bugsey's and Patsey's
bed paid fer now. Now III do Teddy's
and .Jimmy's. This amt blot it's
the liniment Mrs. Mcclure gave me. /
have it on me hands.
I'm gittn on to Be therteen soon.
IL is pretty old CESS. III soon turn
the corner now and be lookin' 20
square in the face--1'll never be home
sick then. ] amt lonesum now either
its jist sleep that's in me eyes
smuggin them up.
Jim Russell is offel good to go to
town he doesn't seem to mind 1t bit.
Once I said I wisht I'd told Camilla
to remind Jimmy to spit on his warts
every day---he's offel careless, and jim
said he'd tell Camilla, and he often
asks me IL want to tell Camilla any
thing, and it's away out OF his rode
to 60 round to Mrs. Francis house too.
like Jim you bet.
Pearl was quite disappointed IN
