Transcription

At sundown, I met the brethren of the Twelve, and others, also William McCarey, the Indian negro, and his wife at the office. McCary made a rambling statement, claiming to be adam, the ancient of days, and exhibited himself in Indian costume; he also claimed to have an odd rib which he had discovered in his wife.
