- Inscription
- Where wealth to virtuous hands is given / It blesses like the dews of Heaven / Like Heaven it hears the orphans cries / And wipes the tears from widows eyes / / I sigh not for beauty nor languish for wealth / But grant me kind Providence virtue and health / Then richer than kings and more happy then they / My days shall pass sweetly and swiftly away. / Sarah Ann Tottey / BIrmingham 1849
