RAMEKIN LISTED AS WEDDING PRESENT

RAMEKIN LISTED AS WEDDING PRESENT

Dear Heloise: My first cousin with whom I’m close is registered for several items at a large department store.

It’ll do as a last-minute gift for your cousin! -- Heloise

John Bankhead Magruder had accepted the fall of the Confederacy as an irreversible fact.
