Party at Mr McKinneys she was then alas like too many building high
hopes in the future and to night as I recall that scene I can scarcely
realize that one so young and gifted now lies in the narrow precinbis ’

at her home and gave me an invitation to be present and I little
thought we would meet no more untill we meet at the Bar of god Oh what
