"Saw virtue in her
Shape how lovely
And felt how awful
Goodness is."

[Written in ink, vertically, on right side of page]

This, my hearer, is my work; my pleasing
toil, the labor of my life. Such a life shall
bring thee into fellowship with angels; yea, such
Kindness is Christ-like and full of mercy.
Be this thy task – do it – and the blessing
of him that is ready to perish shall come
upon thee, and God shall be thy exceed-
-ing great reward!! ~

[Written in pencil, below the ink writing]

And well is t. [the] lov^ss [loveliness] of wis. [wisdom] mirrored in a cher. [cheerful] countenance;
The deepes. [deepest] pools moved by dimpling Eddies:
A true phil. [philosophy] commandeth an innocent life.
The unguilty spir. [spirit] lighter than a linnet's heart;
No cosmetic like holy consc. [conscience], for
T. [The] eye bright with thrust cheek bloomed oer [over] with affect. [affection]
Brow unwrink. [unwrinkled] by a Care – t. [the] lip triumph^t [triumphant] in its gladness.
