Description
Answering an ad in the paper for a wife, Sarah agrees to come visit for one month before agreeing to marry Papa, writing back and forth with Papa's children, Anna and Caleb, telling them that they will know her because "I will come by train. I will wear a yellow bonnet. I am plain and tall," and "Tell them I sing."
