But we will get there some time and when we do you can bet we will show them something and I am tickled to death I am going and if I lay down my life I will feel like it wasnât throwed away for nothing like you would die of tyford fever or something.
Well I would of liked to of had Florrie and little Al come east and see me off but Florrie felt like she couldnât afford to spend the money to make another long trip after making one long trip down to Texas and besides we wasnât even supposed to tell our family where we was going to sail from but I notice they was a lot of women folks right down to the dock to bid us good by and I suppose they just guessed what was comeing off eh Al? Or maybe they was all strangers that just happened to be there but Iâll say I never seen so much kissing between strangers. Any way I and my family had our farewells out west and Florrie was got up like a fancy dress ball and I suppose if I die where she can tend the funeral she will come in pink tights or something.
