When this you see
remember me though
many miles apart we be.

Thanks to C. Fletcher of Atoka, Tennessee, who says:

“This is a small (4 x 6) Bible, leather-bound with part of a metal closure remaining on the front and back.
The top, bottom, and sides of the pages are gold gilt-edged, greatly faded.  The title page shows it was
printed in New York in 1858 by the American Bible Society.  It was found in my parents’ home upon
closing their house. Inscription:  Besides a child’s scribbling, there is an ink-written inscription by an adult
on the top right-hand corner in beautiful 19th Century penmanship.”
