Reuben, Parks & Edward, in the beginning of the previous week, rebelled against my authority—refused to obey my orders, & said they were as free as I was, etc., etc.—I succeeded in capturing them & lodging them in jail.
Reuben, Parks & Edward, gjorde i begyndelsen af sidste uge oprør mod min autoritet – afslog at adlyde mine ordrer og sagde, at de var lige så frie som jeg etc., etc.--Jeg havde held af at fange dem og stoppe dem i fængsel.
