Quite cool & pleasand. Alf:
Fairall Esq here for me to go to
Patrick Cuff Jr's to investigate
the case of the drowning of his
wife who (in our opinion) accidentally
fell into the "draw well" in
the night: going for some fresh water,
the handle or crank of the draw
probably struck her head & she fell
into the well head foremost.
