Summary
Autograph album containing poems in various hands, most initialled and dated, often by members of the Steele family. The majority of the entries are dated 1894-1897. Several poems, including "The Kaiser's Dreams" and "Here's jolly good health to Mr. and Mrs. Steele" are signed and dated 1918 and appear to be contributions to the album from wounded soldiers visited by Mrs. Steele.
