BESSIE ON HER TRAVELS.

BY JOANNA H. MATHEWS.

“Glad hearts, without reproach or blot, Which do thy work, and know it not.”

DEDICATED TO LITTLE FLORENCE GUERNSEY,

AS

A SMALL TOKEN OF APPRECIATION OF HER FATHER’S LONG AND FAITHFUL FRIENDSHIP; AND WITH THE HOPE THAT THIS LAST MAY NOT PROVE TO HER THE LEAST OF THE “BESSIE BOOKS.”
