- Inscription
- Why weeps Columbia on her Glorys fled / Her guardian hope her friend yea saviors dead / then on my sampler let me work his name / For not on brass nor stone depends his fame / On each Columbian heart while rolls the sun / Shall stand inscribed the name of WASHINGTON / Sally Burrill Aged 10. Lynn. August 11 1800 //
