the next Monday
At this Monday sitting George Pelham, purport-
ing TO give what his father and mother had done
on Saturday after they had left the sitting OF that
day said:

to tell what he Mrs. Howard do with reference
to himself. He said that he his father give
HIM some roses and that he her take a photo
