Autograph album of Mary Roff 1843
Inscription 9

"Will did we weep no common grief
That may lightly pass away"

Tis painful truly to part, but happier far is the
thought that one we loved was worthy of our affections.
    She is we trust a chosen vessel unto the Lord, to go
far hence among the Gentiles. That God may permit
you to enter upon your destined field of labor, and
be faithful unto the end, is the earnest prayer of
Your friend and classmate,            
Delia Maria Warren.        
Grafton, Mass.
S. Hadley Feb. 14, 1843
