Mr. Thaxter has been obliged to go home, as it was not possible for me to accommodate him.
Mrs. Thaxter was a delightful hostess, and possessed the rare quality of bringing out the best in those about her.
I walked with Mr. Thaxter over the island, and saw first the graves of the Spaniards.
Within a month after the sale of Williams' property at public auction, Thaxter acquired the instrument-making business.
Mrs. Thaxter tells me that there are several burial-places on this island; but nobody has been buried here since the Revolution.
