    Dear Tom, I'm well aware-
    That this Post-card to you seems queer,
    But no man can be counted wrong,
    To seek what does to him belong.
    Both you & I had some dealings - past
    In Longford town September - last.
    2
    You Bought from me, you are aware,
    A cool of butter then & there.
    And at that time you did agree,
    To send the vessel back to me.
    As it was required in Cloncoose,
    For similar & for present use.
    3
    It was to reach me without fail.
    In two weeks from the day of sale.
    Of course it was my right to get,
    But right or wrong you have it yet.
    And if, by stealth, some person has it,
    I'll try to find it by a Gazzette.
