Diaries
page 3

This was hand written on the last page of diary #1. As to the author, I have no clue. The text reads as follows:
December 7th, 1868 A.D.

Some trace of a friend to behold
When the heart that now loves thee has ceased it’s pulsation
And the hand that now writes this is cold

Yours Truly
poem
