Graphite inscription at upper left corner of front end paper: "127". This album is mentioned in a letter from Glaisher to Miss Catherine Parsons in which they discuss the arrangement of the valentines in the albums provided by Glaisher: '... I give way entirely to your view tht [that] there is no inconvenience or anything unsatisfactory in having the valentines longways in the books and I think it is much better to put them in the existing books, and have them displayed longways. (The loose leaf album was originally made with dark brown leaves, but I did not like them & chose the lighter colour. I have the dark brown leaves but I do not think you will want to use them.)'.
