Notes

Image 1 contains verse, "Animals" by Stephens u.c-l.r., "ANIMALS/ Little things that/ Runand [illeg.]/ And die in silence/ and despair;/ Little things that/ fight and fail/ And fall on sea dn/ earth and air;/ All trapped and/ frightened little things/ The mouse, the coney,/ hear our prayer:/ As we forgive those/ done to us,/ The lamb, the linnet,/ and the hare/ Forgive us all our/ trespasses,/ Little creature/ everywhere. / Stephens".
