Laura O. Scoville Poem, undated
                        My Bible
My Bible! tis a book divine
Whare heavenly truth and mercy shine
And wisdom speaks in every line
                                    and speakes to me
 
My Bible! in this book alone
I find Gods holy will made known
And here his love to men is shown
                                    his love to me
 
My Bible! here with joy i trace
The records of redeeming grace
Glad tidings to a fallen race
                                    good news to me
 
My Bible! here it is i read
How Jesus did for sinners bleed
Oh this is woundrous love indeed
                                    Christ bled for me
 
I love my Bible may i nere consult it
But with faith and prayer
That i may see with sorow thare [torn away]
                                    Who [torn away]
 
            Laura O S Walker to [torn away] /
 
Monday morn 4th
            we are all well thiss
morning and I hope you the same
John is a going to town so I will send
your letter                   now do write
