Always interesting to see more info that 'may' narrow the story. Nothing changes what I said on 05 Jun 12 and learned 45-50 years ago except adding Sara A. Price as the woman with the diary and the 'possible' attribution to Turner. Given the dates, Price 'could' have gotten it from Turner's book..or from Fletcher's book.

If there comes a chance to sing it for an audience again, I'll add some of this to my short intro. What I'd really love to know is who put the perfect tune to it,
