of him to take me to see 'Righteousness and Peace;' but there, Miss Angel, I always did say your pa

meant well. He tells me as how it is better times for you now; that he is earning more money, and

that the success of this picture of his has made you all very happy. Dear Miss Angel, I am very,

very glad. I must say I think you understood what your pa could do better than I did, for you

always thought he would be famous some day, and it seems he is, and I am proud to speak of him as

having once lodged in my house—as kind a man as I ever knew, and a perfect gentleman."

"I send my best respects to Master Gerald and yourself; your pa says one of these days he may

bring you up to town, and he has promised we shall meet."

"I am, dear Miss Angel,"

"Your old friend and well-wisher,"
