Thare Ware did you get the soot askt Persey an I borryed it off of a waiter. aint no drink that could cost that mutch unless thay gaiv you a gallen of it for the price. It was a funny thing Gus but the stuff dident seem to have no effeck on me at all. Persey was stewed in a bout a hour aftir he started. He got up on the staige and tryed to dance with a peech in a bailey skirt that was sum of the talent that had been ingaged to maik the banket go off nice for us boys. I draged Persey down off of the staige and got up onto it myself to show him how to dance. Sumbuddy musta smeared butter or sumthing on the flore of the staige thow becaws I couldent stand up on it but fell down on my eer evry time I t/yed to taik a fansey step. When we come out of the restarent whare the banket was at I sez to Persey what time is it. He looked at his watch and sez 3 Oh clock.

Hay I sez to the fello on the sete taik me out to National Lege park in a hurry. Then I hopped inside the cab and sat thare wurrying all the way out to the ball grownds a bout how mutch of a fine Roger was libel to clap onto me for terning up lait. When I got to the park thare was nobuddy a round. I went into the club howse and husteled into my uneiform and come out onto the dimund. And I seen thare wasent nobuddy in the stands neether.
