d man like his father God will own and
bless him.

Dr. Fulton's second wife, Aunt Laura, was a lovely woman, for we all
learned to love her when her first husband was living.

Miss L. A. Pousland was one of the best ladies I have seen in this city,
for it was from her house that I went to the Wayland Seminary in 1875,
and to her love I owe a love of gratitude, and to all that may come to
me as worldly goods I shall always think of Miss L. A. Pousland and of
her love to me when I was getting ready for school and the letters full
of love to me all the time while I was prosecuting my studies. Oh, how
she longed to see me out in the world doing my Master's will and helping
to teach, for she is a Boston lady, and they are a learned people and
like to see all others learn, and that is the way, like the old Pilgrim
Fathers were, that there should be a grand common level for all after
them.

To my story of child in House's family:

This Mr. John House had the largest sum offered to him for a girl as I
was that was ever offered for any one and he would not accept the whole
world of money, on account of the one that had loved me and cared for
me, for he well knew that after all of those prayers that he would be
sinning; and he would not have had my mother sold away from her
children if his brother would have let him know it in time. He went away
to attend court and to his surprise found that my mother was sold. He
came home at once to let us know of it, and he was the one that called
in my sister Frances and sister Annie and sister Rosa, for the two
oldest that I speak of fell to a dead brother who had drank himself to
death, and these were sold to pay for his drink. He had been dead for
some time and those that he owed now came in to get their pay, which was
their only chance; and the money that they got did not do them much
good, thanks to God, for it was in the time of the war and the money was
of the Confederate money, and it was during the great struggle when this
money was called in never more to be the money of these United States,
for this Union needs the kind of money that will be good in all lands,
and I am glad that the people can see it now as they never saw it
before.

CHAPTER V

I am glad that the dear Lord has laid it in my heart at this time in
life to let the world hear something of a life that they will all be
filled with a love for one whom it has been a delight to meet at any and
all times.
