[and then in different ink, apparently added later, squeezed into the margin] father stuffed a $5-bill in my pocket, walked away fast, wouldn't say what it was for: asked mother, she sed it was for a HAIRCUT!<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More old letters!
