May. 3, 1917.
I must be getting to be
a regular Sunday School
boy now. I only had to
go back & walk up the Stairs
right once & I only
had to repent to

May 4, 1917
Gosh! today I came home
[crick?] way & Gorden
wampool & Leonard Fines
were down there pluggin
rocks at the bank I said
I’ll double dare you to
plug at the old man &
I threw a sailer & he
said hollered that
it took him right
on the knee & there
was 2 women standing
right in the door
&who saw me throw
it & I told him
that they were seeing
things [illegible] they had had
one to many. I knew
that he wouldent
tell proff because
he Blew so much.
Whenever a man
blows off steam &

proff or somebody
why you dont have to
Be Afraid of him at
all because it is always
the way with those
kind. Why when
Jack wilson first
came here he put up
the best bluff I ever
see untill I got in
a fight with him
& Lammed time right
out of him Nobody
who hardly dared to fight
