Emma's Autograph Book - Sentiment Matilda MEACHAM

  General Notes:

Sentiment: Matilda Meacham and her younger sister "Emma" were very close, regularly exchanging letters and postcards. Younger Emma died two years before the elder "Tilda," as she was affectionately called. Within Emma's autograph book is the following sentiment:

When from those we love we part
From hope we comfort borrow
And whisper to our aching hart (sic)
We will meet again tomorrow

Your Sister
Tilda
