Additional Comments:
This Bible was given to me by Fred Gilbert Bryant, my grandfather, when I was
twenty-five years old.  Fred kept it in his wardrobe wrapped in tissue.  The
Bible originally belonged to Mary Caroline Vaughan Hewell, his grandmother. The
Bible is personal size, seven inches by four and a half inches in brown leather
bonded to cardboard.  The Bible is in very good condition, but the original
inscriptions are extremely faded.   Carolyn Bryant Faz
