LETTER VII.
In which affairs take a more favourable turn.
Cousin Ephraim, — I thought I would jest write you
another little postscript to my letter that I was going to
send you in a day or tu, and let you know that the legislaters
want split so bad as some folks tho't for. They've
got 'em both mended agin, so that they set 'em agoing
to day afore noon. But in the arternoon, that legislater
they call the Sinnet, got stuck, and in trying to make it
go, it rather seemed to crack a little; so they stopt short
till to-morrow. Its been jostled about so, and got so
weak an' rickety, some are afraid it will give out yet, or
split in tu agin.
