This page reads as a political note or letter draft to Uncle Larry, worried that Mc Call's possible departure would leave an opening for Waine Morse.

Unlike the more lyrical pages nearby, this one is tactical and immediate. The misspellings and rough punctuation make it feel like a working draft, naming politicians while worrying over how power might shift in practice.

A tactical letter draft, 'Dear Uncle Larry,' worrying Oregon politics in rough working prose. 'Mc Call seems to be at this / point supporting the monster Rockerfeller,' and if he leaves Oregon 'for that murderer,, then the rains so to / speek are-left to Waine Morse in a run for Governor.' The reasoning is coldly practical: '(Morse) could never beat Mc call,, but with Mc Call gone... / then Morse could win.' Source spellings ('Rockerfeller,' 'speek,' 'Waine Morse') and double commas are preserved as written - an immediate, calculating note unlike the lyric pages around it. This reading is provisional because the page transcript sits in the 'mixed' OCR quality band.
