On the back of the card the condemned man wrote:—
“My Dear Wife this was sent to me bye a Lady from Hull and as she wishes to me I do wish to thee My Dear wife so good bye for I am gone to Heaven.
“Charles Peace.”
He also sent her a quarto copy of “The Old, Old Story.” It was in two parts—(1) The Story Wanted; (2) The Story Told; with the author’s music. On the last page he had written:—
“My Dear Wife, This was sent from London from a Lady at a prayer meeting, where prayers were offered up for me at Eaton-square, London, for to bring before thy poor husband’s face his Saviour, finding him a poor lost sinner, and to bring him to his fold, where I also hope thou wilt be brought.
“Charles Peace.”
