Normally I would note that this excerpt is “Continued from July 4 (reply #5) .” But somehow all the photobucket links for July 1859 somehow got corrupted so they no longer post. I have no idea how this happened or why it is all of July and no others. I have been exchanging messages with photobucket customer service and I may be able to fix the links. It is a matter of removing 1 character (an “o”) from every link. I just have to figure out how to find the links here on FR and then I can have a delete-a-thon for July. - HJS
