September 6, 186---brite and fair to-day and
cool. it feals like autum. i tell you i dont like to
have the summer go. one weak from nex munday
school begins. i hait to think of it. we will have
to do the old xamples about A. and B. and how
many squaire feet there is in 4 ackers 2 roods and
28 rods and New Hamshire is bounded on the
north by Maine on the east by long ileand Sound
on the south by Rode Iland and Conetticut and on
the west by New York, and the capital of Tennysee
is Tallyhassy and the capital of New York is Oswego
and things we lerned last year. sumtimes
i feal like saying to old Francis, who sed it aint,
but i know if i did he wood lam time out of me.
well i have got one moar weak. i hoap i wont be
kep in enny more. i cant spair a single minit.
went to chirch today. the quire coodent sing becaus
sumthing was rong with the organ. only the
squeel keys wood go and they went as loud as a
steam whistle. the base keys woodent maik a single
yip. old Chipper Berley clim into the organ after
chirch was over and found that sumbody had stufed
a old pair of overhals and a old hat all spatered
with paint into the big pipe. Chipper told Beany
he done it and Beany he sed he dident hoap to die
an cross his throte and then Chipper he held up the
overhals and the hat and they both had I. M. Watson
rote on them and so Beany has lost his gob
this time forever so Chipper sed and he waulked
Beany out by the ear. Beany told me honest he
dident do it. he sed he pumped jest as hard as he
cood becaus he dident want to let the wind go out.
Chipper sed the reeson he pumped so hard was
becaus he gnew that all the wind wood go into the
squeel keys and sound awful. Beany feals prety
bad over it becaus he needed the money. he has
bougt sumthing at old Bill Morrils gewelry store.
I knew what it is two and who it is for but Beany
dont know i know. Beany will feal prety cheap if
he has to give it back to old Bill. praps she wont
give it back to Beany. then Beany will be in a
scraip. ennyway if she wont give it back Beany
wont never forgive her. i hoap she wont. it will
be tuf on Beany.
September 7, 186---Beany is fealing prety bad.
he asted me if i cood lend him a dollar. honest i
coodent becaus i aint got it. he says he has got to
get a dollar ennyway. i lent him 40 cents so he
aint got to get but 60 cents moar. he tride to get
a gob today poasting bills but Cris Staples got it.
then Beany he went up to Chipper Berleys to get
his pay and Chipper told him he was lucky not to
get arested for distirbing a religus meating. so
Beany dont know what to do. he aint got ennything
to sell and i aint eether. he tride to borrow
it of Pewt but Pewt sed he dident have it.
