Being maid a Feller of the Zoological Satiety, and I may say by
your Honner’s meens, threw the carrachter your Humbel was favered
with, and witch provd sattisfacktry to the Burds and Bests,
considring I was well quailifid threw having Bean for so menny
hears Hed Guardner to your Honner, besides lookin arter the Pigs
and Poltry. Begs to axnolige my great fullness for the Sam, and
ham quit cumfittable and happy, sow much sow as wen I ham amung
the Anymills to reckin myself like Addam in Parodies, let alone my
Velvoteens.
Honnerd Sur,--awar of your parshalty for Liv Stox and Kettle
Breading, ham indust to faver with a Statement of wat is dun at the
Farm, havin tacken provintial Noats wile I was at Kings-ton with
a Pekin elefunt for chainges of Hair. As respex a curacy beg to
say, tho the Sectary drawd up his Report from his hone datums and
memmorandusses, and never set his eyes on my M.E.S.S., yet we has
tallys to our tails in the Mane.
Honnerd Sir,--I will sit out with the Qadripids, tho weave add the
wust lux with them. Scarse anny of the Anymills with fore legs
has moor nor one Carf. Has to the Wappity Dears, hits wus then
the Babby afore King Sollyman, but their his for one littel Dear
betwin five femail she hinds. The Sambo Dear as was sent by Mr.
Spring was so unnatral has to heat up her Forn and in consequins
the Sing-Sing is of no use for the lullabis. Has for Corsichan hits
moor Boney nor ever, But the Axis on innqueries as too littel Axes
about a munth hold. The Neil Gow has increst one Carf, but their
his no Foles to the Quaggys. Their his too littel Zebry but one as
not rum to grow; the Report says, “the Mail Owen to the Nessessary
Confinement in regard to Spaice is verry smal.”
