[The Iron Puddler by James J. Davis]@TWC D-Link bookThe Iron Puddler CHAPTER II 3/6
I never was quite satisfied with that leave-taking, and nearly forty years later when I had car fare, I went back to that town. I never like to go out of a place feet first, and I cleared my record this time by walking out of my native village, head up and of my own free will. On that trip I paid a visit to the home of Lloyd George in Cricuth. Joseph Davies, one of the war secretaries to the prime minister, invited me to dinner and we talked of the American form of government.
(Note the spelling of Davies.
It is the Welsh spelling.
When my father signed his American naturalization papers he made his mark, for he could not read nor write.
The official wrote in his name, spelling it Davis and so it has remained.) "You have this advantage," said Mr.Davies.
