Tennessee, and that she had visited them once at their fine home
in Charleston for three or four months. These people replied to

for a few weeks we had a marvelous tale which they heard from
her. She had told them she formerly lived in the most beautiful

Charleston who took her home with them. While there she had to
go to a hospital on account of some infection.
