Inscriptions Inscribed on recto in black ink TC: So many memories of you in this my first \ home : my first birthday party. Climbing \ from my little bed to yours before sleep. \ And funny froglike songs which \ made me giggle and beg for more. And \ steaks that have never tasted as good \ since then. Our first television set \ and the Yankees. The Yankees!
