Title
15 August 1850
Memorandum made for `dear Katherine". Should like papa to have her riding whip that he gave her when they thought of a long separation and "The Lord is My Shepherd". Dear Mama must have her watch and chain and wear them always for her sake and she must wear her mourning ring that she has worn.
Dear little Lizzie of course must have her seal ring. Dear ........... must wear for her sake the inlaid brooch Mama gave her. The first piece of worsted work writer ever did must be given to dear Uncle as a remembrance of Rosie and writer of how they both loved him. The pattern was chose and the material collected by her and writer worked it that winter after her death. If writer does not get better to make him a pen wiper like the one Harriet Kirkby gave her he must have that.
Endorsed: Katherine Smither's note.
