      “Are we getting married tonight?”

      He jerked back. “No!”

      “I’m Daniel. I’m going to be your brother.

       California rancher, in good health, age 26, dark hair and eyes, seeks agreeable woman for purposes of matrimony. Interested parties send photograph.

      San Joaquin Valley, California, August 1862
