If it is him you will know it by him having six toec on the left foot. He also sings bast and has a spread eagle tat too on his right arm which you will know him by if the bear aint et these sines offen him, If alive dont tell him Ime married to Joe White cause he never like Joe. Maybe youd better let on as if Ime dead but find out all you kin without him know about what it is for that is if the bare aint et him all up. Respectfully, SALLIE WHITE. - P. S.
