Hoffman Bible
The Holy Bible Containing the Old and New Testaments,
New York, American Bible Society, 1875.
One back page has a statement from Mrs. Hoffman about
non-payment from one of her employers, in order to care
for a baby. This baby's name is also in the Bible, making
me wonder how this baby was related.
