Sinossi

Excerpt from Recollections of Ralph Randolph Wormeley

It is your Mother's wish and mine that you and your children should possess a record of the Grandfather for vvhom you are named, and whom you resemble, we are glad to think, in seve ral points of character. For this purpose I have abridged a memoir of him written by your Aunt Elizabeth the year after his death, adding such re collections and observations as your Mother and I have been able to put together. The result is meagre, for there were no letters nor records to help us - nothing but our own recollections; and we were both so young when we lost him that we did not, whilst he lived, understand the fibre and quality of his rare nature; it was not till we came to search for ourselves into the secrets of existence that we learned the. Priceless lesson of his unselfish life.
