    The following inscription is on the back of the above:-
    "Pray for the soul
    Patrick Leonard, Colonel, U.S.A.
    Who died
    September 18th 1873 aged 52 years."
    He believed that his country was never intended to be merely a province. He freely risked his life for her freedom and died happy in the confidence of her final triumph. R.I.P.
