A sweet Valentine from brother to sister, with hand colored wood engraving, that reads: "Sister, there's magic in thy voice, / There's thrilling love within thine eye, / To make my bounding heart rejoice, / Or soothe it with thy tender sigh. / There's an angel lent from Heaven above, / In a sister's faith--a sister's love."
