retains all its lair proportions, and its venerable outline,
grown gray and messy by time and neglect perhaps
adds rather than otherwise to its appearance parcu

eryhing that seems TO whisper in your ear, and point
you about three hundred yards down the woods, to the
grave of him who p' anted them-to the humblest
grave in appearance that ever held the ashes of human
greatness | made sketch over it.
| enclose you little flower from branch of vines
said have been planted by Je erson himself beneath
the window ofthe room in which he died, they have
spread all over the side OF the house.
