User-Contributed Transcription Autobiography of Sir Watch ChainI was requested some time since by my intimate friend, Mr Key?, to write a history of my somewhat eventful life. But - being at that time continrely? carried around by my Master, I had no opportunity to do so. I had been endeavoring for some time to release myself from my Master's neck and was much rejoiced one morning? when he left the room in which he had been sitting and laid me on the table, where there was a pen, a piece of paper and some ink. I soon availed myself of the opportunity of writing the following account of my life which I now give in precisely the same words as it was then writen. The first thing that I can recollect was bing taken up from a desk where I had been sleeping during the night by a lady who told me she was going to make a present of me to her T? Y? H H just
