Poems

Description:

These poems are included in the papers of Julia Buttles of Worthington, Ohio, married to Job Warren Case in 1815. The collection also includes correspondence, poems, essays, and other writings. Letters between Julia and family, re. early life in Ohio, activities in Connecticut and New York, War of 1812, and routine social graces. The poems appear to be school assignments as spelling has been corrected in pencil.  The first is a simple verse about social graces to remember.  The second is a rousing account of slaughtering bed bugs.
