"I know, an' that's enough to know." "But you've got to put de name on de back," said Aunt Judy, anxiously.
"Dat's so," said Uncle Braddock, with equal anxiety.
"No, I hain't," remarked Aunt Matilda.

"I'll tell Ole Miles who to take it to.

Put down for de fus' thing: "'Ise been thinkin' fur a long time dat I oughter to write about dis hyar matter, and I s'pose you is the right one to write to.'" "What matter's dat ?" asked Aunt Judy.
"Neber you mind," replied Aunt Matilda.
Slowly and painfully, Gregory printed this sentence, with Dick Ford close on one side of him; with John William's round, woolly head stuck almost under his chin; with Uncle Braddock leaning over him from his chair; and Aunt Judy standing, peering down upon him from behind.
"Dat's wrong," said Dick Ford, noticing that Gregory had written the last words thus: "rite 1 ter rite 2." "She don't want no figgers." "What did she say 'em fur, den ?" asked Gregory.
"Now, Greg'ry," said Aunt Matilda, "put down dis: "'I don't want to make no trouble, and I wouldn't do nothin' to trouble dem chillen; but Ise been a-waitin' a good long while now, and I been thinkin' I'd better write an' see 'bout it.'" "What you want to see 'bout ?" asked Aunt Judy, quickly.
"Neber you min' what it is," replied Aunt Matilda.

"Go on, you Greg'ry, and put down: "'Dat money o' mine was reel money, and when I put it in, I thought I'd git it back ag'in afore dis.'" "How much was it, Aunt Matilda ?" asked Uncle Braddock, while Aunt Judy opened her eyes and her mouth, simply because she could not open her ears any wider than they were.
"Dat's none o' your business," replied Aunt Matilda.

"Now put down: "'I 'spect dem telegram fixin's cost a lot o' money, but I don't 'spect it's jist right to take all an ole woman's money to build 'em.'" "Lor's _ee_!" ejaculated Uncle Braddock, "dat's so!" "Now you Greg'ry," continued Aunt Matilda, "put down: "'Ef you write me a letter 'bout dat ar money, you kin giv it to Ole Miles.' Now sign my name to dat ar letter." The next day, having been summoned by the obliging Gregory, Old Miles made his appearance in Aunt Matilda's cabin.
The old woman explained to him that the letter was so important that she could trust it to no one who was not accustomed to carry letters, and Miles was willing and proud to exercise his skill for her benefit.
"Now, den," said she; "take dis hyar letter to de man what works de telegrum in Hetertown, and fotch me back an answer.".
