August Q, AOHA.
Deer Mr.. Eddytur:
1 bin a>wantin to rite anuther let
tur but Their hes bin so mulch in
terestin readin in the papers lately
and I've bin SO durn bizzy readin up
on the Constitooshun of Maryland,
that / amt he'd time. hev got it
all read now, but like Sparkerlin,
don't know quite al of it. 1t pears
as tho the Gang are gettin offul
skeered like, when they he'd to git
tibet Sparkerlin Teller to rite lettur
about one of them greenhorn candy
dates, and the trubble was, they
give the poor Teller a subject he
didn't no nuthin about. Now, what
I cant understand is why they didn't
give Sparkerlin a subject he new
somethin about stead of lettin the
poor Teller show his ignorance tibet
way. But I amt got no time to
waste helpin these greenhorn candy
dates. I'm too bizzy helpin Yves
and Rufe and Urv.
I notice that the eddytur of the
News seems to be in turrible way
bout the anonymous lettur ritin
annimuls what is infestin the county
now. In course l no he don't mean
me. Guess he must mean Reubin.
Comm from the News ! no sum of
the Gang what gives him the county
printin to do, must be gittin hit
purity hard. My friend Bill, (what
aint Eddytur Billy SEE from the
amount Of county printin the News
hez dun he thinks the eddytur is
bought and paid fur as long as he
lives. AL hev to say to the eddytur
of the News is, tibet Their ,aint no
boomerang has hit me so fur. Ev-
veryboddy is gettin blamed with
this job exceptin me. The more
hear about who al is a ritin of these
letturs, the harder I laff. Fust the
Gang got Reubin to blame it on Tom
and Dave. Now they are sayin as
how it is somebody who is on the
ticket, or has relashuns on the tick
ct. / don't want nobody to git the
creddit fur this what don't deserve
it, SO I'll jest say, and I no the
eddytur of the Journal will corrob-
crate my statement, tibet amt
anybody what is on the ticket, or
has amy relashuns on the ticket.
The Gang kin keep on guessin, but
I don't want them ter blame it on
innersent peepul.
Bill and me has bin tendin of the
Carnivals most EVERY mite. We hev
he'd good time talkin pollyticks to
our trends and ennemies. Bill he'd
a long talk with Yves one mite and
Yves told him as how these letturs
of mine are dom him so mulch good.
See they are maxim him votes
EVERY day. I guess tibet must be
true fur I no he hez bin around
akin the peepul the secund time,
when they he'd refused him the fust
time, and now they hev refused
him the secund time, so l think the
letturs' must be helpin him. Sum
of these greenhorn candydates mite
git fue pointers from Yves on
eleckshuneering, but would advise
them to be a little keerful how they
approach Teller after he hez re-
fused them once. I hev hurd of
some purity spiny ansurs what Yves
got Pears like not menny of them
is changin of Their minds.
Yves SEE he is offul bizzy now, and
in course he is. He nez two jobs
to tend to; the one what the county
is payin him fur dom, and the job
what he is runnin fur. Bill wants
to no if the county is payin Yves and
Rufe while they are eleckshuneerin.
but I couldn't anser him. Bill is
alters botherin about things what
amt amy of his bizness.
Bill SEE he found a leaf out of
somebody's diary, either Bill
Ewing's OF RUDE Reynolds, or it
mite hev bin a leaf out of some
dealers ledger, shown of the
charges fer gasoline fer Permanent
Road Work" in the Fourth Dees-
trick. He SEE Their was 23 gallons
of gasiline charged in January, "A
in February and 70 in March. If it
takes that mulch gasoline fur
Permanent Road Work" in dees-
trick what amt got no Permanent
Road" and durin three months
when Their amt no road work bein
dun, Bill SEE he'd jest like ter see
the bills in sum if the deestricks
what heZ a lot of Permanent
Roads" Then in April they he'd
126 gallons of gasoline, but lin
course tibet was after they got the
truck and sum of it mite hev bin
used in the truck. Bill SEE faint no
wonder them permanent roads frum
Leslie to North East, frum Akin to
