Mr.Willi was a man who loved money as most men do, and without looking for an opportunity to sell me, he found one in the offer of Captain Enoch Price, a steamboat owner and commission merchant, living in the city of St.Louis.

Captain Price tendered seven hundred dollars, which was two hundred more than Mr.Willi had paid.

He therefore thought best to accept the offer.

I was wanted for a carriage driver, and Mrs.Price was very much pleased with the captain's bargain.

His family consisted besides of one child.
