countenance is very expressive; but from her long residence with the
Indians, she has acquired the habit of peeping from under eye-brows as
they do with the head inclined downwards. Formerly her hair was of a light
chestnut brown--it is now quite grey, a little curled, of middling length
and tied in a bunch behind. She informed me that she had never worn a cap
nor a comb.

She speaks English plainly and distinctly, with a little of the Irish
emphasis, and has the use of words so well as to render herself
intelligible on any subject with which she is acquainted. Her recollection
and memory exceeded my expectation. It cannot be reasonably supposed, that
a person of her age has kept the events of seventy years in so complete a
chain as to be able to assign to each its proper time and place; she,
however, made her recital with as few obvious mistakes as might be found
in that of a person of fifty.

She walks with a quick step without a staff, and I was informed by Mr.
Clute, that she could yet cross a stream on a log or pole as steadily as
any other person.

Her passions are easily excited. At a number of periods in her narration,
tears trickled down her grief worn cheek, and at the same time, a rising
sigh would stop her utterance.

Industry is a virtue which she has uniformly practised from the day of her
adoption to the present. She pounds her samp, cooks for herself, gathers
and chops wood, feeds her cattle and poultry, and performs other laborious
services. Last season she planted, tended and gathered corn--in short she
is always busy.
