One day when the dip* theria was killing so many young people especially children my throat began to get sore. The next morning Father rode off on his horse and told me not to go near that river today. As soon as he left my playmate Press Fincham and I left for the river and stayed in the water off and on all day. When I left the river my throat was well.
One day Press met a Yankee in the road and they began to have some words. Press began to curse the Yankee and the Yankee told him to shut up and if he didn’t he would put a load in him. Press then just dared him to shoot. The Yankee said, “I would shoot you but you are so brazen I will spare you.”
