Deborah Dunning's 1840-1844 Book of Hand-written Poetry, etc. gift for the scholar Just a sweetI can't not rescue things like this, to ensure they are shepherded into the future one way or another. I believe the owner was a Deborah Dunning, who was responsible for writing many of the poems in it, with contributions as well from other Dunnings and friends. Much of the content relates to friendship, and also farewells of various sorts, with plenty about God, and nature, and marriage, and death, too. One page features the names of Deborah Dunning
