You most certainly may. :)
In fact -- in you choose, good sir -- the May 1830 journal entry that I
made reference to says, and I quote:
Friday 7th. Had 2 Galls. Indian Corn put in the ground today, bad as the
weather is -- yesterday our Blksmith from eating to excess of the Small
Ullachans, in such abundance now among them, did not feel disposed to
work & today my Gentleman presented himself before me for Something
better than ordinary to feast on while he Should keep the house -- His
tone & insolence, not at all uncommon with him, at length provoked me to
lay the Ruler across his skull, & I dare Say he will continue Some days
Still off duty.
