Dearest Girl
May We who resides in the Heaven of Heaven
be with thee; and upon thy name may
Happiness be Written
And Mattie
When oer these times thy eyes doth roam
Think of thy old Friend at Tall-Creck Home.
R. P. Edwards
June 1886

Written on the side:
forget not the guy riding over the Bluffs,

"From the autograph album of Martha M. "Mattie" Roach of Chelsea, daughter of Fred and Eliza J. (Hutchins) Roach. She married Samuel T. May in Toledo, Tama County, in 1891."
