This book belonged to my great grandmother and I’ve always been curious as to what’s written in the back of the book and on this random piece of paper, I found inside of it :)

EDIT: more info

The title of the book with the writing is inside of is “Twelve Centuries of English Poetry and Prose” by Alphonso Gerald Newcomer, and others.

The only writing I could decipher is this sweet note. My great grandfather left her. I’m guessing this was a gift.☺️ Note: To the dearest wife in the world, all my love for eternity, Leo.
LAST EDIT:

Thank you to everybody who helped me out with this it means a lot to me and I really appreciate it!
