Description

This valentine was sent in 1846 from 'Chief Office' to Hoxton, London. It is edged in lace and the poem reads:

In this heart dear Valentine,

Resides a lady fair,

And if you'll raise its coverlet

You'll find that lady there.

And should you wish to know for whom

That pictured form is meant,

For that fair maiden I reply

To whom these lines are sent.
