AND THEY SHALL BE M[INE, SAITH]

THE LORD OF HOSTS, [IN THAT DAY]

WHEN I MAKE UP M[Y JEWELS;]

AND I WILL SPARE [THEM,]

��������������������������������������� [ this is from Malachi 3:17]

We think Joseph died in 1870. There are also a few surviving pieces of paper printed with LANGDON 1885 and a black border round it. Possibly a memorial note for another family member?
