	Letter to Vice Consul Gaspary \| Arthur Rimbaud \| Letters \| Oyster Boy Review 17 \| Fall 2003
		In Sajalo, before departing, they made me sign an agreement to pay them 15 thalers each for the road plus two months of back-pay, but in Ankober, annoyed by their insolent demands, I seized the paper and tore it up in front of them.
		Consequently, someone complained to the Azzaze, etc. Besides, we never take receipts for wages paid to servants in Shoa: they'd consider this act quite strange and believe themselves to be in danger of who knows what.
		During the seizure of these things, which didn't happen without resistance, I found some old pairs of underwear that the old widow took with impassioned tears along with some bullet molds and a dozen pregnant slaves I declined.
