the nuptials planned for my daughter and my aunt , of which i wrote you , were unexpectedly interfered with by circumstance ( principally a circumstance by the name of mr. randall lillywhite , whose name i mention in case it may one day pass your cognizance ) , but my grandchildren were fortunately christened , and while my aunt 's wedding has been postponed to a later season , my daughter 's union with mr. mackenzie was solemnized by the courtesy of the reverend mr. caldwell , a worthy gentleman , though presbyterian .
