Summary
T'PREFACE
Dear friends, I nah address you once again, an e'furst place let me thenk you for t'favours past, an also for't favours I trust ye're abaht to grant me ageean, e t' shape ov ivvery wun on ye buyin a coppy o' this almenack. A paper on health says at its wise to tak at least three quarters of an hahr for t'dinner, an anuther recommends at a bit ov meyt an porrates added to t'three quarters ov an hahr wondn't spoil it mitch. It certainly wod be a poorish job withat meyt an porrates, bud if ye knaw annyboddy at after heytin cannot manige to digest what they've hetten, tell em ta get a Weyver's Awn ta help dahn ther food. It'll dew more gooid ner awther pills or frewt salts, an it'll breeten em up all rahnd. Dewrin t' past year there's nut been soa mitch ta dew e t' country, different ta uther years, except this big franchise agitation which hez hahivver been a pretty busy time (especially for t'printers). I doan't pretend (like owed Moore) to be able ta say hah it'll end, bud this I dew say, at there's a deal o' ill-feeling created abaht it at's altogther uncalled for. Hesn't ivvery man at reight ta his awn opinion an if he hes what duz he want to compel ivvery other man to fall to it, an thinks he's an idiot an a fooil if he doesn't.
