To an Envelope poem cover envelope
Description
Image: A foliage border lines the outside of the envelope., Verse 2475: To an Envelope. Speed gentle missive on thy way to kindred hearts--make no delay, And if thy tidings glad the heart of those who bid thee thus depart, Then let thy well directed face, Sure passport be to destined place. Perhaps of Love you bear the tale, And hearts would grieve if you should fail, If so proceed with greatest care, to those whose happiness you bear. But in this world of care and pain, You'll often bear a sadder strain, And often change the watcher's fears, into the mourner's griefs and tears. If such must be the words you speak, then let thy message gently break, And point to worlds where woe would cease, and care and strife shall end in peace. Be LOYAL everywhere you go, From Canada to Mexico; care not to whom you may belong. BUT GO TO THE UNION RIGHT OR WRONG! 1865, Provenance: McAllister, John A. (John Allister), 1822-1896, collector

Title
Toudy, William
Description
William Toudy, a lithographer in the firm of H. J. Toudy & Co., born December 1846 in Baden, Germany, immigrated to the United States in 1857. Toudy, following the Civil War during which he served as a sergeant in the 74th Pennsylvania Infantry, entered the Toudy firm . Probably a relative to Henry Toudy, he lived with the lithographer in 1866. In 1867, he moved to 1847 Germantown Avenue after his marriage to Caroline Wuest (b. 1849), with whom he had several children. By July 1870, he moved to Camden, New Jersey, where he resided for the remainder of his life., Although he is not mentioned as a partner 1871-1876 in the reconstituted firm of H. J. Toudy & Company, he appears as the sole partner of the firm in 1877-1878. He continued as a printer and lithographer throughout the remainder of the 19th century, as well as applied for an invalid pension for his Civil War service on May 8, 1879. Toudy died on February 9, 1912 and was interred at Arlington Cemetery. Both his son, Wilmer Toudy, and grandson, Julius C. Toudy, worked as lithographers, the latter for Lehman & Bolton in 1917.
