How a Hillbilly Ham Operates his rig!
Written by Elmer A. Hamoprater,
Tennessee Hillbilly Ham.

(Elmer, a Tennessee Hillbilly ham sent this to me via regular mail and it has not been corrected for spelling errors, grammer etc) We did put spaces where we thought he intended for a sentence to end.
We attempted several times to use our Spell Checker Program but it crashes every time, so we gave up!

His letter is as follows, printed on this page as written by him.
