My love had vanished like lightning; but oh, I was in a terrible gliff! Instead of gundy. I sold my thrums to Mrs. Walnut for a penny ... I wrote out a letter to the minister .. begging him not to believe Jess's word, as I was not able to keep a wife, and as she was a leeing gipsy." (page 3).

Very Good binding.
