A young woman wearing a yellow dress sits on rocks beside a stream and holds a sealed letter in her left hand. A top-hatted gentleman watches from behind a tree. A verse is printed below: 'So young so innocent and fair / no single flower can e'er compare / With thee, my little timid maid, / Content to bloom in modest shade; ... and every sweet less sweet must be / Than thou, my Valentine, to me!'. The interior is blank. One of eight examples from the same series which are mounted together, consecutively in album P.14416-R.
