It has ever been a great delight to me to engage elderly people in conversation. As a child, the accounts of incidents during their lives fascinated me, they fascinate me now, and very especially, the reminiscences of Colonial life in Panama.I acquired many years ago the habit of taking notes of any interesting stories I would hear, - always hoping that my son would make use of them some day, and publish them in book form. I hardly felt equal to doing it myself. But repeatedly, when relating some of these anecdotes, I have been asked, Why don't you write that, just as you have told it? In this way encouragement has come from many a kind listener, and at last I have been persuaded to tell my little stories.
