Poetry, 1838 and undated

This series consists of two love poems, both of which were probably written or copied by John Zug and sent to Margaret Hood. The first poem is dated 31 March 1838 and begins with the line: "'Twas on a bright and sunny day of March." Attached to this poem are quotes about love clipped from books and other published sources. The second poem is not dated but is entitled "The Old Bachelor," and the name "Miss M. A. Hood" is written on an outer flap. The materials are arranged chronologically with dated materials appearing first.
