Witch I did, not wantin to be slapped fer eny brite idee I mite tell of. I went out to the back of our house and layed down and begin to reed a story of Jesse James. My eyes got tired after awhile and I went back to the house and got the Bible to study my Sunday school leson but I dident. I never liked the lessons very well enyways so I hunted fer the places ware Mozes preecnt to the Izreealites and had his vizyums and I thote wudent Ma be surprised if I had a vizyum so I laid back with my eyes shut and tried to act like Mozes and by and by a spirit come to me and sed look at the cenes around you in 1936 wich I did and I seen a spirit come and the spirit sed that he'd tell me what happened to all the freshmen and I sed alrite, And the spirit sed Retha is fiting bush whackers in Australia ware she is a Michinary.
