We soon entered the house, and after the first gush of
feeling had somewhat subsided, they both began a general
inquiry about the friends they had left behind. Every

Bradley intended to send for her parents, and hoped to prevail
on them to come and live with him.

Truly yours,

particulars. Believing in his inmost soul in principles of rectitude,
all men believed in him, his "yea," or "nay," passing current wherever
he went. Tall, dignified, and commanding, he had that in his face which
inspired immediate confidence. Said one who looked: "If that is not a
good man, there is no use in the Lord writing His signature on human
countenances." Even in early youth, honors which he never sought, were

worth. He was sent to th
