Transcriber's Notes

"Union for ever for me!" is a 1861 song, written and composed for Miss Ada Webb by William Shakespeare Hays (1837-1907). See the lyrics online at the Public Domain Music website or atthe Library of Congress's "America Singing: Nineteenth-Century Song Sheets" website-this song is the second to last link on the Library of Congress page. The Public Domain Music website also has a MIDI of this song.

"The Sword of Bunker Hill" is a 1855 song, written by William Ross Wallace with music by Bernard Covert. The song tells of a veteran of the American Revolutionary War on his deathbed giving his son the sword he took from a British captain. See the lyrics online at the Public Domain Music Web site or atthe Library of Congress's Web site-this song is the third link from the top on the Library of Congress page. The Public Domain Music website also has a MIDI of this song.

In researching the above two songs, it was discovered that the letterhead illustration used on some of the other letters appears to have been copied from other sheet music of the period.
