small kid case with1 a slip: of paper oir it. I
opened the paper, whleri' bore my name on
the outside, and read : ,c 'Will ! Nellie accept

love wis more than even I could endure, and

me for tho past. I did not wish to go down,
arid. as hlone was dressed 1 wrote u a slip
of paper, " Vecept the thanks of your daugh
