DescriptionBook containing manuscript poems, quotations from newspapers, cartoons, sketches and illustrations.

These include her father, J A Warwick and a Jack Warwick (possibly the John Warwick mentioned in the apprenticeship indenture, D6768/1/9). The book contains three loose leaves, two of which contain verses by J A Warwick, the third being a letter from J A Warwick to Maggie wishing her a happy twenty-fifth birthday, dated 21 December 1882
