In closing this record, expression of warm appreciation is given, of the unremitting kindness and tender care bestowed upon Henry Morse the blind hostler, who, for years, was a member of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Wyman's household. "Morse," as we called him, was a mine of folk lore, and could his style and Yankee accent have been repro- duced, these pages would have been enriched by some of his stories.
