Yours, &c. Th: Jefferson. LETTER IV. TO BENJAMIN FRANKLIN, August 13, 1777 Virginia, August 13, 1777. Honorable Sir, I forbear to write you news, as the time of Mr. Shore's departure being uncertain, it might be old before you receive it, and he can, in person, possess you of all we have.
Just wait till we get this crop gathered; if I don't kick you two idle, blundering, wasting, pilfering black renters off this farm as shore's a gun's iron! "No, she and Jeff-Jack'll never marry. Even if they do he'll not live long. These political editors, if somebody doesn't kill 'em, they break down, all at once. Our difference in age will count for less and less every year.
"We'll see ye both fair. Ye've got to fight now, in course that's the law, an' I ain't learned it in the fur trade o' the Rockies fer nothin', ner have you people here in the settlements. But I'll tell ye one thing, Sam Woodhull, ef ye make one move afore we-uns tell ye how an' when to make hit, I'll drop ye, shore's my name's Bill Jackson. Ye got to wait, both on ye.
Crash. "Why, we're among the trees again." "Yes, sir; shore's this way," said the coxswain. "Then where in the name of wonder is the sea?" said the lieutenant, in an angry whisper, as the tide bore them along, with the men's oars rattling among the mangrove stems. "I think we've got into a side channel," said Mark. "Rubbish! How could we?"
A blind man could figger this deal heah.... Big corrals hid behind the gate under us long fence out there to the wash close up any holes on this side of valley then make a humdinger of a drive.... Cowboy, shore's you're born I'm seein' my Arizona ranch right this minnit!" "Reckon I'm seeing things too," agreed Pan in suppressed excitement. "I said once before it's too good to be true.
I'll put none of my gold in Hastings's sleeve. I'll pension Shore's wife, and Edward will not trouble himself about his sister. He prefers other men's sisters. Do not fear, Hymbercourt; the time has come to meet Louis' craft with craft." "And Your Grace's unhappy daughter is to be the shuttlecock, my lord?" suggested Hymbercourt. "She will serve her purpose in the weal of Burgundy, as I do.
"You have ridden far?" replied the monk in perfect English. "All the way from the Bend," Red replied, relieved. "We're after Jerry Brown. He tried to kill Johnny, an' near made good. An' I reckon we've treed him, judging from the tracks." "And if you capture him?" "He won't have no more use for no side pocket shooting." "I see; you will kill him." "Shore's it's wet outside."
The dog heard and louder came the answering note, a deep tremulous boom through the woods that meant to the older man's trained ear that he was on the run. "That's old Boney shore's yer born!" the father cried, "an' he ain't got no doubts 'bout hit nother. He's got his head in the air. The trail's so hot he don't have ter nose the ground.
He told the King and the ladies, plainly speaking of death and of the skulls and bones of dead men and women, how there is no difference; that nobody could tell that of the great Marius or Alexander from a pyoneer; nor, for all the pains the ladies take with their faces, he that should look in a charnel-house could not distinguish which was Cleopatra's, or fair Rosamond's, or Jane Shore's. 26th.
Shore's statement relative to the dewan of the Committee, his answer was this: "I do not think that I should have written it quite so strong, but I do in a great measure agree to it: that is, I think there is a great deal of truth in the observation; I think, in particular, that it would require great exertion in the Committee, and great abilities on the part of the President, to restrain effectually the conduct of the dewan; I think it would be difficult for the Committee to interpose a sufficient control to guard against all the abuses of the dewan."
