Valentine’s cards to the Keesing sisters, 14 February 1882

To My Valentine,
Sweet Rose! I love you far better than all
The girls in this world, dark, fair, short & tall!
And therefore I send you this Valentine
As I would be yours, so please to be mine.
But the sender’s name, Oh! never disclose,
Either to Evelyn or Kate, dear Rose!

St Valentine. 1882.
