Trewyn Isaf,

Ty-Croes,

Anglesea.

for New Year's Day 1908

To A. Wallace

If but a few

of all the burning, living thoughts my Friend

that seethe within your brain

their way may have[?]

described by this small gift: if you still loved

your clear soul's light, the chain

that binds the True,

the veil of blinded ignorance to rend,

you have not writ in vain.

Though they be few

who realize the distant future's trend

you have not writ in vain

from Jessie Marshall [signature]

Mr. and Mrs. Marshall

were our[?] opposite way[?] thanks[?]

at God[illeg.]
