A soldier's reprieve /
McGonagall, William.
[Dundee : s.n.,
1893?]
In two columns with a coat of arms above the title.
In verse.
'Composed Jan. 1893'.
Printed on the sheet are copies of three letters, two of which acknowledge receipt of poems by McGonagall, the other is a testimonial by the Rev. George Gilfillan.
First lines read: 'Twas in the United States of America some years ago, / An aged father sat at his fireside with his heart full of woe, / And talking to his neighbour, Mr Allan, about his boy Bennie / That was to be shot because found asleep doing sentinel duty.
