Entry 7575

Volume 4 · printed page 3309 · Vicksburg, Miss.

Well, jis' like yuh had two wimmens an' wanted 'em both tuh git along, wanted 'em tuh live in de house tuhgethah. Well, yuh go tuh a graveyard where a young baby is buried an' jis' run yore han' down dere an' git some dirt off 'is haid. Come back an' sprinkle it aroun' yore house evah nine mawnin's, an' dat - dat'll make peace. Dey will git along. (What do you mean by having two women in one house and want them to get along?) If yuh have two of 'em, jis' wan' 'em tuh git along. If dey stay in a separate house it'll be all right, but yuh know yuh have tuh sprinkle it aroun' both houses.

(I see.)

Yuh could put 'em in de house tuhgethah if yuh use dis dirt.

(You mean the two women?)
