Sept. 8, 186- brite and fair. the band played tonite downtown. we all
went down but mother and aunt Sarah and the baby and Franky and Georgie
and Annie who was all two little except mother and aunt Sarah who had to
stop and take care of them. the band played splendid and Fatty Walker
jest pounded the base drum as hard as he cood. most of the fellers run
round and played tag and hollered but i set still. i cant see how
fellers can run round and holler when a band plays. they tried to pull
me out of my seet but i giv Beany a good punch. when we came home
mother asked if i had behaived and father sed i set there jest like a
old potato. he sed i dident know much ennytime but when i herd music i
dident know ennything.

Finton to lick him. he is coming next Saterday. he lives in a city and

nife and a slingshot. i had lost my nife so i told Beany and he sed he
