some errors made because of reading the original book, and because
she was not familiar with family names, etc. The case mentioned is
an old portable writing desk, I think they are called, and probably

I don’t know why Mary was confused about the Journals,
as I explained them to her. I visited her in |

of events on the farm, Brookside, and notes about various people,
written between 1863 & 1900. |
