Autograph album of Mary Roff 1843
Inscription 14

"Mary hath chosen that good part,
which shall not be taken away from her."

And as you leave this loved Seminary, these happy
scenes, these dear friends, as you bid adieu to kindred and
home, as you leave your native country, as you hasten
upon the ocean's deep blue wave, as you go to Persia's
varied clime, and as you proclaim to her benighted
daughters the glad news of salvation, may Israel's
God protect and bless you.
    And as your thoughts revert to the days, that
you have spent within these consecrated walls,
let not the name of thy friend be forgotten; but
let her live upon thy memory's sacred shrine and in
thy prayers.
Hannah D. G. Jones.
South Hadley. Feb. 11, 1843.
