tune that ever hird then thay
fied three rounds over them I tell

kinds of sickness but the mane
sickness is homesickness and

laying on the ground and
eating baken I hav had the
best helth since I left home
that I hav had in three years
if I can keep so I ask no
odds of the rebile I can stay
with them a while yet
