General Notes
[on the page with a letter to Adelia (Collver) Powell from her daughter Ruth, 3/21/1886]
Dear Alice
I was very glad to receive a letter from you. I hope you will try and improve your time when in school in gaining an education and when at home in aiding your Mother in caring for your little sisters in keeping them quiet when your Mother is sick or busy. And try an do whatever you can to help make your home a happy one. Now I will write a poem on your middle name. I hope you will find a nice name for the baby.
The Rose
The rose has one powerfull virture to boast
Above all the flowers of the field
When its leaves are all dead and fine colors lost
Yet how sweet a perfume it will yeald
So frail is the growth and the beauty of man
Tho' they bloom, and look gay like the rose
All our fond care to preserve them is vain
Time kills them as fast as he goes
Then I'll not be proud of my youth or my beauty
Since both of them wither and fade
But gain a good name by performing my duty
This will scent like the rose when I'm dead
[Alice Rose Powell] from your grandmother
