The poet signs a short sentiment, clipped from a larger

Clipped signature: "Lovingly yours/Rose H. Thorpe", 3½x1¼
slip. Rose Hartwick Thorpe (1850-1939) was born in Mishawaka, Indiana. She is
most famous for a poem she wrote in 1867, "The Curfew Must Not Ring
Tonight." This poem, about a woman who prevents a bell from tolling until
her imprisoned lover can receive a pardon from Oliver Cromwell, was said to be a
favorite of Queen Victoria. It was put to music, and three silent films were
based upon it. Irregularly cut at edges. Ink notes (unknown hand) on verso
(light show through). Otherwise, fine condition.
