- Inscription
- Ellen Maria Odiorne"s Work Wrought by her in / the 10th year of her age in the year of our Lord / 1822 / How various her employments whom the world / Calls idle and who justly in return / Esteems that busy world an idler too / Friends, books, her needle and perhaps her pen, / Delightful industry enjoyed at home / Can she want occupation who has these.
