Prepping for the next few weeks of classes, which are my favourite of all to teach. Prep includes listening to medieval carols and attempting to enjoy them more than this medieval owl (who - hoo! - is the topic of another class).

Yes he was handsome. But give some credit to the meticulous attention his wife Anna Murray Douglass paid to his care, his home, & the presentation of his garments. It was Anna, a free woman who he met in Baltimore, who out of her meager savings gave FD the money for his train ride to escape.
