Now here's the letter I've jest writ, if you feel able fur to read it, Honey, you will see that I am tryin fur to git somebody here fur to take care of you suitable."
Pap's poorly again, and I'm obliged to put the late supper on the table for them thar gals the night shift's done eat and gone. I'll show her whar she's to sleep at, after while.
