MOSSOP,/ The Poetry by/ Charles Mackay, Esqr./ Music Composed & Dedicated/ TO/ Mrs. Gardiner of Rochester, N.Y./ by/ HENRY RUSSELL./ NEW YORK/ Firth & Hall, 1 Franklin Square"; published 1836; written in G-major for piano and voice; stamped in red at bottom "W. E. MILLET'S/ MUSIC SALOON/ 75/ BROADWAY N.Y."; handwritten in pencil at upper right "E F N Monell"; one loose sheet between covers. According to Stuart M.
