“My Dear wife I do send you the coppy of some verses that I made when our Dear little John Died and I was at Woking Prison (Nov. 26, 1871, John died)
“They told me gently he was dead
My Dar and lovely child
They led me to the lonely grave
Whear lay my Darling boy
When they laid thee in this silent grave
I was A convict bound
