Transcribed by Evelyn Crowe

The writer will always remember a little incident that befell him during this school. He was running home one evening to his boarding place, bare-headed, having lost his hat in one of the many ways that a boy may become separted from his head-gear. While passing the store of James Poole he was accosted by a gentleman, who proved to be William Lindley, and asked whose boy he was, and what he was doing without a hat. I told him that I was the son of Sam Crowley, but that he was dead, and that I was staying at Dr. Evan's and going to school, and that I did not have any hat. Whereupon the man took me by the and led me into the store and told the merchant to give me a hat and he would pay for it, also some calico to line the straw hat with. Mrs. Evans lined the straw hat and seemed to be greatly amused about something-perhaps that her boarder had become the object of charity. Mr Lindley had a son in school, and when he sent in after his boy on friday evenings he often made me go out to his home and visit with his boy over Saturday and Sunday. These little acts of kindness received in youth and never forgotten, however small and trivial they may appear at the time, and as measured by the world in general, are only as a passing dream, but stamp themselves indellibly on the memory.
