    One of our brick walls!  I wonder when we will find more about Hosea.

    A mirror maker in New York; I think I should write up his story.  Can you provide any information on him?

    Yours aye,

    Seems I already have a bit about him!

    This passage is causing me some difficulty:
    Having established himself in New York, he sent for his wife and children. His wife died mid-passage and was buried at sea. Upon being told this on the Jersey Piers, which were the Ellis Island (immigration and excise point) of the day, the father suffered a stroke and died. Young Josiah Dugliss and his sister were orphaned in a strange land. He was apprenticed and became in time a noted fine-cabinetry mirror maker, executing among other commissions the (original) New York Opera in an era when mirrors were the heart of illumination.
