 ''This reminded me that our family also has in its possession copy of the same paper of Identical date. and after search in many places I finally located it in the family Bible. I have forgotten now how 1t came into our keeping. and as my father Is away for the summer I cannot call upon him to refresh my memory Were he here, however, I do not think that he would have much to say on the subject. because if my recollection is cor rect 1t was palmed off on him 20 or 90 years ago by some slick tongued indi- vidual as an orginial and not a repro duction. as it so palpably is.
