I resume my pen after an interval of two years. Within a few weeks after the events described in the last chapter Jessie and I were married. There were six bridesmaids, Josey and Florry West, and their four little sisters. On that day my mother gave uncle Bryan a Bible. Josey is sole proprietor of the grocer's shop, and the business has wonderfully improved.
