My own personal experience of him is limited to what I remember as a mere child.

Let me say something, however, first about my parents, my sister and myself.
My sister was the eldest born and the best loved.

I did not come into the world till four years after her birth, and no other child followed me.

Caroline, from her earliest days, was the perfection of beauty and health.

I was small, weakly, and, if the truth must be told, almost as plain-featured as Uncle George himself.
