    • 1861, E. J. Guerin, Mountain Charley, page 26:
      During my sickness I was constantly and tenderly cared for by Mrs. Anderson, and at short intervals I received visits from both my children, so that upon the whole, I do not regard this as the least unpleasant portion of my life. I had the fullest sympathy of my entertainer—a blessing which had been denied for me many long years.
