The second package is a letter, from Sheriff Hogg himself. In it, he reports that he and the posse went to the Duke's farm, spoke to Old Uncle Jessie and the two boys, Bo and Luke. Their sister, the voluptuous sister Daisy, was sitting on the porch wearing skimpy crinoline dresses and a low cut top. Sheriff Hogg threatens them to desist their criminal activities or the two boys will find themselves drafted into the army and Jessie and Daisy would have to deal with the farm themselves.
