"Sourvenir of Our day at War Eagle Landing, June 21st, 1899 with compliments of Ben,
Emmet and Jule. A poem is written on the next page:
"We were rambling in the woods,
Oh so warm!
Twas on the Mississippi shore
There wre willow bugs galore
And our picnic clothes we tore
On a thorn
The mosquitoes were a humming
Day and Night
And upon us all they slipped
Caught us where the clothes were ripped
And the way we swore and slipped
Was a sight"
On the next page is a hand painted colored drawing of a big mosquito on a plant with an angry sun looking down. Below is written: "I wish they'd come again"
