Entry 2419
If you tryin' to make a trade with anybody - jest like if you wanta buy a automobile from me or enybody, see, or buy a home somewheres, don't make no diff'rence what it is, you go to de people and try to buy, and dey tell yuh, "No, ah don't wanta sell yuh - I don't wanta atall." All right, you go off and dey think dey ain't goin' to sell it tuh yuh. Yo' read de 56th Psalm before sunup wit chure face to the east - read dat 56th Psalm over three times. Read it befo' you go to bed and den git up dat mawnin' and read it three times before sunup, before you speak to enybody, and jest go on to dat man house and if he don't make de trade, ah'll eat chure hat. [Here is one of many references to my old black hat containing concealed microphone on the table - see Author's black hat, in Index.] Ah's did that mahself.
Entry 2420
Yo' git yo' some sugah an' sulphur an' git chew a bottle of Heart Perfume. Po' it on there, don't chew know, down on de sugah an' stuff an' about six a'clock burn dat. An' then yo' git de Bible an' yo' read de 47 Psalm an then to make them come - yo' gotta say, "May mah crowd gather together thick. May mah crowd gather together thick. In de Name of de Father, in de Name of de Son, in the Name of de Holy Spirit." An' they begin to gather thick an' yo'll have so many folks yo' won't know whut to do. After yo' read de 47th Psalm yo' say, "May mah crowd gather together thick tonight, all gather together thick tonight, thick as hops, '' an' say, "In de Name of de Father, in de Name of de Son an' Name of de Holy Spirit." An' yo' won't have no trouble. That brings in trade - I mean they come in.
