Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Somewhere in the fifties, about 1850 - 52, I was one of the youngsters who went the Northern Circuit. 'coming in one day late to dinner (as I often did), and looking for a place, I saw a white - haired man with a vacant chair each side of him. I sat down and got into conversation with my neighbour, whom I found pleasant. The next day the same thing occurred - the same man was Seated alone, and I sat by him. We again talked; I was charmed with him, but hadn't an idea who he was.
