f o r a 12-year endeavor, t h e p u r c h a s e of a p o s t a l g u i d e o r a n a t l a s

On page 2 2 , "John had i n h i s p o s s e s s i o n t h e f a m i l y p r a y e r book which

The a u t h o r does n o t s t a t e if s h e examined t h e a c t u a l w i l l s h e
p r i n t e d on pp. 20-21, which s h e concludes w a s i n W i l l i a m ' s own
