Red Haired John Peters Marries Bell a Meirs by Mistake
John Peters a Connecticut mercantile graduate seeks a bookkeeper post in New York. A case of mistaken identity with Baltimore cousin John Peters leads to a comic romance as Peters and Bella Meirs wed after a newspaper advertises the job. The couple confesses the deception to Bella’s father, who forgives them, and the match ends with Peters becoming a devoted husband and capable aide to Mr. Meirs. The tale blends mistaken identity, family pride, and rural New England wit in a bustling city setting.
