Excerpt from Susan Warner: Elizabeth Wetherell IF ever this book is printed and read, at two things, I doubt not some people will wonder. First, at our strange, exceptional life, and then that I should be willing to tell it so freely. I was not willing.

I could not truly set forth my sister's character, without giving the surroundings among which it took shape and strength. For the rest, I have no call to be sensitive. New England blood is never ashamed of any work that ought to be done; and no believer has cause to cover his face, in any spot where his dear Lor'd sees fit to bid him dwell; for work, for service, or for the mere polishing attrition.
