	Mah life wuz hard an~ sad, ‘but now I‘m oornfortable here with kind friens. I can‘t read or write, but I surely enjoy de radio. “Some nights I dream about de old slave times a~a‘ I hear dein cryin‘ an‘ prayin‘: ~oh, Mastah, prag Oh, inastah, y“ when dey are bein‘ whipped, an‘ I wake up oryin. ‚ I set here in dis room and can remember mos‘ all of de old life, can see it as plain as day, de hard work, de plantation, de whippings, an‘ de misery. l‘in sure glad it‘s all over.
