Summary
Greetings Card - Verse calling card style. Front: Heavy white card with printed fern leaves sprouting from two urns on each side with a stylized leaf design to the bottom and a central shell, inside of this border sits the verse. Verse: FAREWELL! The hour is nigh at hand that we must part, Perhaps to meet no more dear friend, farewell! yet in the mem'ry of a grateful heart, A thought of thee shall ever fondly dwell. Though distant far let fortune frown or smile, Within my breast should yet a hope remain, Should sorrow vex or pleasure's charm beguile, That hope shall be_to see thee once again.' Rear : The back has black brushes of ink.
