If thare iz enny boddy who don't beleave this i don't care, i only write what i know, and don't hold miself liable for other folks' ignorance.
Possum grease and hoe kake, in equal parts, will phatt a nigger in 60 days, and make hiz face glisten like a piece ov pattent leather.
If the possum only had hare on the tail i could account for him fully, but this lack ov the hirsute attachment bothers me.
I think now i would giv ten dollars tew be made well on this subjeckt.
Altho the possum dies hard, he lives eazy, and i might az well own it, forever, for i have spent a great quantity ov mi life surrounded by possums and other historick vermin, and never heard only ov acksident death in the possum family.
The muskrat and the possum hav similar tales, but the muskrat steers himself with hiz while bathing, but the possum never bathes in ennything but chicken blood.
The studdy ov natur iz a good risk to take, and will make sum men az phull ov knowledge az an unabridged Webster's spellin book, while thare iz others that natur nor ennyboddy else haint bin able tew edukate yet.
Dear ----:--Yure letter kame safe unto hand last nite bi mail, and i hurry tew repli.
The best musketers now in market are raised near Bergen point, in the dominion ov Nu Jersey.
They gro thare verry spontaneous, and the market for them iz verry unstiddy--the grate supply injures the demand.
Two hundred and fifty to the square inch iz konsidered a paying krop, altho they often beat that.
They don't require enny nussing, and the poorer the land the bigger the yield.
If it want for musketers i dont kno what sum people would do thare tew git a living, for thare iz a grate deal ov kultivated land thare that wont raize ennything else at a proffit.
The musketer iz a short lived bug, but don't waste enny time; they are alwuss az reddy for bizzness az pepper sass iz, and kan bight 10 minnitts after they are born just az fluently az ever.
Thare iz people in this world so kontrary at heart, and so ignorant, that they wont see enny wisdum in having musketers around; i alwus pitty sutch pholks--their edukashun haz been sorely neglekted and aint level.
Wisdum iz like duks eggs--if yu git them, yu hav got tew sarch for them--thare aint no duks in theze benighted days that will cum and la eggs in yure hand--not a duk, Mr. ----, not a duk.
