I told him I would give it, then he turned about and went and got a man to go in my Rhoom and I set off to go home, but before I got home I got sick of my Bargain and went and told him I would go myself and pay him for his trouble for gitting the man...after I was Inlisted I sat the Capt if he was willing that I should take the Samll Pox, he said No by No means, for perhaps we may be calld for before you will be Ready to march.
