Wesley talked of his future prospects; his hope of a long life of usefulness;
spoke of his brother, Mr. Coke Bedwell; mentioned the death of a loving sister
by the scourge; of the effect it had upon his mother; then, as now, the honored
wife of Uncle Dicky Davidson. That was the last time I saw him alive. Wesley
Bedwell died the next Wednesday."
