Writing Inside the Case of the Daguerreotype of Flora and Her Mother

© Ann Longmore-Etheridge Collection
"The picture of Flora and her mother, taken when she was three years old at McGrawville, Cortland Co., NY.

"I'll think of thee at eventide,
"When shines the star of love,
"When Earth is garnished like a bride,
and all is joy a-bove,
"and when the moon's pale genial face
is shed or [sic] land & sea,
"and throughs [sic] around her soft light,
"t'is then I think of thee. EM

"Flora & I are in the parlor as I write this, talking of the war, etc. Henry ??? burried Th day (Thursday?) Oct. 30th, '62."
