A verse is printed below indicates that this valentine was designed to be sent to a man from a woman: 'Our hearts are one so take my hand / In wedlock's sweet and silken band, / And at you [sic] rural Village shrine / Make me for ever, ever thine; / Believe that then I will thro' life / Always remain your faithful Wife'.
