Mrs Andrews the things that have been

happening to Angie were not accidents

that's not all he was tortured with red

pepper that's why enie couldn't keep

control of the horse he had red pepper

in his mouth up his nose or

something and whose pepper soaked

handkerchief is

this GP George

Peterson Janet the vet was here a couple

of days ago to give big devil his shots

and I put the red pepper paste on

George's handkerchief I wrapped it

around that bandage we had on big

Devil's leg remember to keep him from

biting it
