However I put it back in time, and was never discovered. There were little quaint woodcuts in the book, and I fancy it was not a new book when it came to my mother - The stories were the most familiar ones. I wish I had the volume now! Your colored ladys outing to the prize fight is a delicious note. I had three colored women in my service, with intervals between when I was out of town.

She confessed & offered to return all she had taken. The officer, a gentle and patient man, I much respected, assured me I needn't fear her stealing again, and I kept her six months or more. I didn't want to blacken her future, and we parted amicably, but I couldn't give her a written recommendation. She was a good cook, and quite worker. She had a son to support.
