[Entire page struck through with several pencilled diagonals:]
Attean Lola, a tall grave [?] man, {son of old Doctor who came}, came one night with his feet frozen when grandmother had an evening company. She had to work on him and thaw his feet to the neglect of her guests and the risk of her clothes while grandfather conducted him to the Indian camps.
Once he {Attean} came very drunk, and being too drunk to stand went out of the yard on all fours. He was inquiring for "Jonatan P."
He was himself a son of old Dr. Lola's. "Know nothin' of doctorin' more'n debble did but white folks cheat Injuns an' Injuns cheat white folks."

Another time she told me this same story of Maria Sauhees again. That is, Clara said Maria Sauhees mother was a dog, in dog form!
