A poem accompanied by a drawing of an officer sitting in a chair and reading. The poem reads "You are bewildered, and you want a guide, To one refer your choice and you shall find, The light break open to your darkened mind; For I will seek a lady good and kind, Patient, gentle, meek and most refined." Likely written for James B. McPherson.
