close and maiking sutch a smell until Beany hollered
as loud as Pewt. for onct in my life i had sum
good luck for i got up the hoal thing and they got

the Terible 3

i xpect to hear sumthing from Ike tomorrow.

October 29, 186---today neither Pewt nor Beany
cood go out of the yard xcept to go to school. they
boath sed they wood be willing to stay in the yard
the hoal day if they cood stay away from school
but they thougt it was tuf to have to go to school
and run the risk of being licked and then stay in
the yard when the other fellers was having a good time.

but i done the best i cood to help them out.
after school this morning i got a croud of fellers
to go up to Pewts. they was Pop Clark and Hunny
Donovan and Ham Welsh and Skinny Bruce and
Jack and Gim Melvin and we staid there until Pewts
father drove us out and after school this afternoon
i got the saim croud to go over to Beanys so he
woodent be loansum and we staid there till Beanys
father drove us out. Beanys father told my father
that it was more punishment for his family when
he kep Beany in the yard than it was to Beany becaus
evry time he kept Beany in the yard all his
frends come in and rased particklar hell.

tonite old Ike sent for father and wanted to know
if he wood come up and stay with him until nine
oh clock when he was going to have a poliseman
stay all nite to perteck him from the Terrible 3.
father he sent him word that he wood be up after
supper. he had to go down town a few minits and
he sent me up to tell him and to say that he had
better stay in and keep the doors locked. he told
me to tell him he wood give 3 gnocks but not to
open the doer for enyone elce.
