Inscription
"Blessed redeemer how divine/ How righteus is this rule of thine / Never to deal with others verse / Than we would have them deal with us / This golden lesson short and plain / Gives not the mind or mem'ry pain / And every conscience must approve / This universal law of love / Ann Stuart September 9 //
