Show cottings jottings Jot tings from a prodigal son dear bash in a previous letter to you inform of my perambulations and my success in getting to my present home n Green river I 1 tried not to use very much hyperbole and less rhetorical embellishment of diction in other words I 1 used very plain english and tried to confine myself to giving you all the news I 1 had on hand at that time well fm getting acquainted with a few select people here in my home so far I 1 have not mingled very much with the elite of the town you know a fellow has to work up by degrees I 1 had to get acquainted with the cashier of the local bank a fellow by the name of jorgensen I 1 am informed his given name Is ingleman but for short and to save time they call him ing well he and I 1 get on swimmingly he just impresses me as being up to snuff all along the une he seems to be very obliging especially when I 1 am making my semiweekly semi weekly deposits I 1 cant get there every day but just aim to get in about twice each week besides I 1 am not making myself conspicuous to people who happen here from moab not that I 1 dislike them but I 1 am too busy trying to accumulate a stake before I 1 get too old so I 1 aar just cultivating the close acquaintanceship of my new friend ing jorgensen in order to make myself somebody in his estimation I 1 just have to put on all the bombastic and heroic airs that I 1 find myself capable of doing when I 1 enter his place of business I 1 could not do that at moab because everybody knows me from A to Z therefore id just have to me my own plain self in that old burg you know in a strange town one can strut around and just make everybody believe that you are of the aristocracy even if you coma from the common herd its different in a large city because the town Is full of the modem adonis with wavy manicured hair and a shining oil that gives out a pungent aroma pleasing to the city flapper now do not get the impression bash that I 1 am a city graduate I 1 have just made a few observations in my perambulating around the country at various tunes in my life but the country flapper Is about the same as ue alty flapper only not quite so stuck up you see I 1 am an observer of human nature to a limited extent dont forget to send my paper I 1 think I 1 have earned it because of an I 1 have missed YOU KNOW HE |
