[Young Lion of the Woods by Thomas Barlow Smith]@TWC D-Link bookYoung Lion of the Woods CHAPTER XII 7/19
On her feet she wore light brown moccasins, on the front of each was worked, in beads of suitable colours, the Union Jack.
As she put out her neat foot that I might better observe the work on her moccasins, she said the work was put on them by her wish out of respect to the flag that covered the remains of her first husband, (Paul Guidon).
In her own words she said to me: "Tell mother in England, she see Jim Newall and know Jim; saw him when my Paul sick and die.
He paddled English mother down settlement in canoe." [Footnote 10: The gold cross attached to Mag's neck-lace, was sent to Paul Guidon by Sir Guy Carleton as a present.
Paul received the present while he was sojourning at Quebec.] "Your letter of 5th August, I received, and will make further inquiries as you advise about the property." The letter is addressed as follows: _Mrs.Charles Godfrey, * * * Care of Charles Godfrey, * * * Esq, (Late of His Majesty's Service), Kinsale, County Cork, Ireland._ The above is the substance of the Governor's letter to Mrs.Godfrey.
