get
out ever since i bit her but she seamed to be
evrywhere to onct. when they come she ran into a
corner and i clim out. i was all covered with dirt
and my nose was skined and my close toar. Keene
asted me if i had ben playing ring round the rosy

went back to my room and changed my close and
washed my face and hands and mother put some
plaster on my face. then i had breckfast.

tonite i am so tired that i cant wright enny more.
tomorrow i will tell how we fed the lamn. i have
got so i can handle the sheep all right. Sam Dire
done it.

August 2 186---brite and fair. yesterday after i
had my breckfast mother told me to ask Sam Dire
what to do to fed the lamn. mother says Sam
Dire is the lady from Philydelfia like the story of
the Peterkin family in the young folks. when the
Peterkin family in the magasine is stuck and dont
know what to do they go to the lady from Philydelfia
who tells them jest what to do. so mother
sends for Sam Dire when she dont know what to
do. so Sam he came over and clim into the pen
and grabed the old sheep and held her until i got the
lamn and it had enuf.

then Sam he went over to the blacksmith shop and
he made 2 rings of iron. then he got a strap with
a buckel and he put the strap with a ring on it
round her neck. then he fassened a peace of closeline
to the ring and run it throug the other ring
whicht he had fassened to a beem in the corner
and brougt the end of the roap out of the pen and
tide it. so all i have to do now is to pull her up to
the ring and ty the roap. then i get my gnee agenst
her and she cant move. i done it at noon and at
nite. she holds back when i pull but when i brace
my feet agenst the side of the pen and pull you bet
she has to come. that was prety good of Sam.
tonite father nearly dide when i told him about
biting her ear and mother told him how i looked.
he went over and paid Sam 25 cents and told him
he was a beter inventer than the man which invented
hot water and i tell you Sam was pleased most to
deth.
