Manuscript, in various hands, of a collection of 21 verses and missives contributed by friends of the compiler, many of which comment on her imminent departure. Many entries are addressed to Mary, including one which declares, "'Farewell,' then dearest Mary. Sometimes think of Fanny--once your earliest & dearest friend." Another begins, "At my beloved Mary's request I write a few lines in a volume which has been consecrated by the effusions of parental love, of sisterly affection, and of sincere friendships...With sincere congratulations on that late event which has united her hand & heart to one every way worthy of her tenderest affections," while a prose address "To Miss Richmond" asks her to accept his "affectionate congratulations & good wishes...I rejoice in the pleasing prospects which are presented to your view." The volume also contains several poems by Robert Herrick, including An Epitaph Upon a Child and To Primroses Filled with Morning Dew; Henry Hart Milman's Margarita in Prison; and a copy of a letter, dated 1806, from Sir James MacIntosh to Robert Hall, "after his recovery from a temporary derangement."
