Hi, Rose.
On that, uh, on the new record, uh, Reverend Milton Norris Cotton.
Say, dear Norris, uh, many thanks for your statement about my welcome to the nation.
Uh, heard violent your gun's exclamation point.
Sincerely, R.N.
Okay.
He's all right.
He's all right.
He's all right.
He's all right.
He knows pretty good.
He really does.
He's all right.
He's all right.
He's all right.
Nobody did really try to operate.
He just probably scrounged around on a picture here and there.
But at least I was very glad to see that our people were honest to see what it is to try to help New York Times in such an article.
They did.
That's the point.
I told them time and again not to.
So I just couldn't get that out of the way.
But I don't think anybody else did.
I just didn't want, I don't care if it was moving or if it was possible, I didn't want to cooperate with the New York Times on something, you know, because they are not there to help us.
