written in 1903. The widow had q
reputation for patriotism aud intel
ligence. he wrote thus proposing
marriage:
Dear Madam; In fascination oil
the happy reputation you possess in
the nation, / have strong inclination
to become your relation. Upon
your appreciation of this declaration

ton will cause great Joy and ex-
