er sed he coodent quite beleeve that for he
sed enny man whitch had as many wifes as Sollerman
coodent have had horse sence or been a repsective
cittisen. ennyway he sed he was wizer
than old man Purington Pewts grandfather who
rew out to sea 10 miles in a storm one day and
when he got to the shoals where the litehouse and
the big hotels was he landed and clim up the rocks

square. father got a gold stem winder wach for
2 dollers. when he got home he tride to wind it
up and he cood wind it for 15 minutes and it
woodent be enny nearer wound up. so father looked
into it and there wasent ennything in it but the
winder. so father was mad and sed if the Terible 3
wood roten eg that pedler he gessed evrybody wood
be glad of it

gosh i dident say nothing but you bet the Terible
3 will have a meating tomorrow erly and they is
going to be sum fun tomorrow nite.

October 27, 186---this has been a grate day
for te Terible 3. this time we have did sumthing
that evrybody is glad of. xcept jest a few
fellers and sum wimen whitch aint willing to maik
enny sackrifise for the good of the town. bimeby
peeple will see that the Terible 3 is able to do sum
things that the poliseman cant do.

father sed tonite after he got home that it sirved
old Swane the poliseman and old Mizzery Dirgin
the poliseman that throwed me out of the hall that
time that father was going to make a speech but
dident dass to jest rite. that it was the law that
a pedler coodent pedle things without a license and
old Swane and old Mizzery Dirgin knowed it and
hadent augt to have aloud him to do it and if they
had did their duty father woodnt have lost 2 dollers
in bying a tin wach without enny wirks in it.
father sed he woodent have missed it for 10 dollers
and he wood like to know who done it. i sed
peraps it was the Terible 3 and he sed if it is peeple
had augt to forgive them for what they had did to
old Biley and old Bill and old Ike and old Ward
and old J. Albert. i wanted to tell him but of
coarse my othe woodent alow me to tell. i bet
father wood make a awful good member. if he
was a member we wood have to call it the Terible
4 and then peraps Beany and Pwet wood have to
have there fathers in it and we wood have to call it
the Terible 6.

So i gess it is all rite to leeve it as it is, but if
we ever get up another on
