She was a Young girl who was sent to a
convent in Scotland. but she dident like it,
so she ran away and dressed in mems
clothes for three years, and then they
caught her and took her back to the
convent They took her in a kind of court
away down under the ground, where 1t was
all cold and damp. In the middle OF the
room, at one end, there was kind OF pull
pit, and behind it there was chair, and in
the chair there sat an old blind monk who
had blind for many years, and on each
side stood nun. There were TO holes in
the wall. Another man vino was monk
that had run away from the convent, and
was down on his knees begging not to be
shut up in the wall, but they wouldent
listen to him, because he had been very
wicked. They monks were very wicked
themselves, so the shut them both up in
tie wall and let them stay there until they
died. | saw picture of fire and pic
ture of Sacramento in 1S49. But it has
been changed Il good deal since then.
