 So Close to Publishing
The feeling of "it's almost done"
is filling my every moment.

My co-author, Allen Roberts, and I

in Madge's book are from Mary Cruwys

Mary was on her own from a young age

This entry is, again, from a different book than
Madge Sellers'.
No entry on this day in 1902 for Madge, so enjoy

Mattie Fuller lived in Vermont and she received her
album as a gift from her father on Christmas Day in 1876.

"May only enough clouds gather o'er your path,
To make a glorious sunset."
