(Only two pages from this Bible are still in existence.  Each of the pages has writing front and back, resulting in four pages of information.  The paper is in very poor condition and beginning to crumble.  The pages are in pieces and some of the pieces are
missing.  Thankfully, a copy had been made when the pages were in a little better shape, although even then, some of the pieces
were missing.  The original pages and the copy are now in the possession of J. Wren Harris, Jr., and on August 18, 2010, were
used by him to produce the following.)
