Excerpt from Some Experiences Afloat and Ashore: Being Notes of a Trip to England in the Summer of 1904, With an Incidental Reference to Dr. Rutherford
American children, and perhaps my wife and self too, that we had to come back home at any cost; so I up and borrows the money for the purpose from my parents. They kept my wife and chil dren from me for eighteen months; and I hon estly think when grandpa and grandma had to let those cunning little Americans go from them, it shortened their days; for soon came letters of failing health and finally death of both my own and my wife's parents. However, as I said, I got the fever to see the old place once more.
