Col Clarence Buell & Wife

Were you ever in Hanibal Mo? They tell me I was there this last fall. And that you both visited me there. And that you sat out on a rail road tie for two hours waiting for me to get up. And that we visited Mark Twains Monument. I dont remember anything but the Bar And Mo toddies. Well I am here at my home ranch in the rockies. Writing my trail of 69 years or the memories of my life. I find I have got to put in a lot of drunks to liven the book. Who ever heared of anything funny without Booze. Mrs Buell will quit you should she ever read this Book. Write me.
