The fragment lists a poem about ships to Melton and love bells, followed by a long prose piece from the New York News about Gloria Reggio, poverty, and a century plant bloom transforming a family’s luck, plus assorted humorous and educational notes on misnamed drugs, old warships, locks, letter writing, and school ignorance.
