Gumbo Soup (Cut up in small pieces four)

Cut up in small pieces four squirrels and one chicken, cook until the flesh falls from the bones. To each gallon of soup add a handful of green or dried sassafras buds, put in a bag. One quart of okra, one large onion cut fine, half dozen medium-sized Irish potatoes cut in cubes, one carrot grated, and a small quantity of cabbage. Season with pepper and salt. When the soup is done take out the bag, and, after removing the buds, squeeze the bag into the soup. Add red pepper and thicken with browned flour.
