IDENTIFIERS ----------- id: 215502 accession number: P.14557-R DATE AUDIT ---------- created: Tuesday 14 February 2017 updated: Monday 29 May 2017 DESCRIPTIVE DATA ---------------- object type: A valentine verse written on a single sheet of embossed white wove writing paper contained inside a white envelope. The verse, written in black ink, is titled, 'To my Valentine': 'My very ardent love for you / Disturbs at night my pillow; / And many are the days I sit / And sigh beneath the willow. / Refuse me not, dear Valentine, / Nor drive me to despair, / My heart it rests most truly thine, / you form my every care.'. The white envelope has an embossed design and is addressed in black ink in an unknown hand: 'Dr. Glaisher / Trinity College'. The truncated address and comical tone of the poem suggests that it was sent to Glaisher from a Cambridge friend or colleague who knew about his collection of valentines. title: Valentine card LICENSING --------- text license status: CC0 image license status: CC-BY-NC-SA OWNERSHIP --------- instutition: The Fitzwilliam Museum department: Paintings, Drawings and Prints creditline: Bequeathed by Dr J.
