Lewis Gun section; my No 1 is a
Roman Catholic ( his parents are

receiving Orange Sentinels; now

who believe them and have private

as I; in fact he has done more than I.
Well , Sis, I guess you think
I have a preaching spell on to-day
which apparently I have, and I
apologise for it was the last thing
I intended to do when writing you
