and she sed well if they cant throw enny better than
you can i gess you havent showed them mutch. now
if you will show me about 25 cents for that winder
and i will say no moar about it. so old J. Ward
pade her 25 cents and she went in. then father sed
are you sure you dident brake them winders yourself
Ward you seam to be a good shot. old J. Ward
laffed and sed well George i gess these boys dident
do it, but i am going to find out who done it if it
takes me a weak. i bet that out of a John Bowley
done it. John Bowley is Squawboo Bowley you
know, or posiably that Peenut Perkins or Johnny
Kelly. so old J. Ward is going to pich into them.

enny way we dident meen to brake his winders
and the Terible 3 hasent got ennything agenst old J.
Ward for he is a good feller and dont never drive
us out of his Carrige shop, but if we had sed we
done it it mite let the hoal thing out. so i gess we
done rite but we will even up with old J. Albert
sum time. his time will come unless he changes his
ways.

October 15, 186---brite and fair. wenesday and so
no school this afternoon. as it is warm the fish bit
prety well and i went down to my boat and cougt
ten shiners and a lot of minnis. it is prety lait for
them. then i fed Hork and Spitt and you had augt
to have see them eat. i dont know what i shall
do when the fish stop biting. rats is scarce and i
cant aford chickings.

this afternoon after i had come back from fishing
we had a meating of the Terible 3. we met at
Pewts shop. Pewt read the report whitch i had
rote for him and he had coppied. then we talked
about wether we had augt to use sling shots xcept in
xstream cases. we desided never to use sling shots
in a croud and never to ame hier than a fellers hind
leg xcept when he is tirned back to for fear of puting
out his ey. and we desided never to fire a sling
shot without ameing nor rocks neether. but grean
apples and all other vegtibles including both stail
and roten egs espeshionally goos egs whitch is hard
to get and ded fish whitch you swing round your
tale by the head, no i meant whitch you swing round
your head by the tale and let ding is all rite to plug
without amein becaus they wont do enny harm and
cant put out a fellers ey.

i am going to have that rote into the record.

October 16, 186---brite and fair. Spitt cougt a

with his claus and pulled him the rest
