In full: "All mankind are one in spirit, And an instinct bears along, 'Round the earth's electric circle, The swift flash of right or wrong. J. R. Lowell in his balmy days." Above her signature, Mott has added "For young Frankie from his old friend, Boston 6 mo.23rd.61." Above the quotation, her husband, James Mott, adds: "Do the right & be happy. James Mott. Boston June 23, 1861." A collector's notation on the reverse notes that the quotation was written for Francis Garrison, son of William Lloyd Garrison. In fine condition.
