The WidOWer's Dream. or The

Such IS the title | am inclined to
give the narrative l am about to relate.

that It was q dream. Whether it was
dream or a vision will not deter

at all from the truth, it is only in this

memorable occasion. l will only try

even that, | must state few circum-
stances anterior to the main ones.
