Memoirs of Mr. Charles J. Yellowplush

CHAPTER IV
52/60

Upon my soul and honor, I will repay you.

Your brothers and sisters send you their love.

I need not add, that you have always the blessings of your affectionate father, "CRABS." "P.S .-- Make it 500, and I will give you my note-of-hand for a thousand.".
