i really dont like the idea of selling this kinda stuff. but i havent got any work this week. any ideas on price?
Written by anyone noteworthy?
no idea mate. thats all i have. nothing on the otherside apart from "3/6" dont know what that means?
Hmm. Im a sucker for old handwritten notes letters etc. especially from the war times. What were you hoping to get? I imagine it's not worth much unless someone famous or well known penned it. But that's also part of the allure.
i was hoping one of you would tell me. i would not like to insult you. i know nothing about the value of this kinda gear
Unfortunately I don't either. I would think its just an anonymous poem that managed to survive for about 100 years. I'll defer for now to someone who may come along and have an idea. I could make an offer but I'd like to see if someone has a better idea on value, other than what I have in my cranium. I see it as a novelty item from a historic time.
Think Gently of the Erring by Julia A. Carney who died in 1908
THINK gently of the erring:
Ye know not of the power
With which the dark temptation came
In some unguarded hour.
Ye may not know how earnestly
They struggled, or how well,
Until the hour of weakness came
And sadly thus they fell.
Think gently of the erring:
Oh! do not thou forget,
However darkly stained by sin
He is thy brother yet;
Heir of the selfsame heritage,
Child of the selfsame God,
He has but stumbled in the path
Thou hast in weakness trod.
Speak gently to the erring:
For is it not enough
That innocence and peace have gone,
Without thy censure rough?
It sure must be a weary lot,
That sin-stained heart to bear,
And those who share a happier fate
Their chidings well may spare.
Speak gently to the erring:
Thou yet may'st lead them back
With holy words and tones of love,
From misery's thorny track:
Forget not thou hast often sinned,
And sinful yet must be;
Deal gently with the erring, then,
As God has dealt with thee.
Regards,
Jerry
