dere frend

ows she slopin. me an bill smiths
in readin in the papers about them
ere perlitickle shifts an things an we
wants to get the strength of it. Why
carnt these ere politshuns get to wurk
an stop foolin, wots senshure moshuns
for anyways, seems to me an bill that
as soon as there seems a chance of doin
a bit of reel work somewun gets up an
moves a senshure moshun to ang
things up for fear somethin mite reely
git done. I gros spuds meeself and bills
workin a sor mill an I kin tell you we
both done some pretty ard yakker but
we dont never think of movin no sen-
shure moshuns again no one becos
weer too blizy trine to ern a crust, it
seems thes ere polytishuns kin ern
there crust just by movin senshur
moshuns an me an bill dont see wot
that can be called perductiv indus-
try. serpose bill was to start an move
a senshure moshune about the way I
groo me spuds or I eld bill up at the
brakin down sor wile I tole im I dont
like the way e kut is timber. verry soon
we wud be short of muney, but these
ere polytishuns seems to be able to do
that sorter thing an still dror their
muney all the time and me an bill
smith rekins it aint fare.
Excuse the toan of this letter but
thinkin over this ere thing as made me
feel riled. why cant people work for a
crust same as me an bill smith an the
other blokes up ere does the ole thing
givs me a eadake
