Inscribed. Signed. Dated., Inscription: Insribed recto: in pen and brown ink: t to b. "How Biffins essayed to keep the wicket and how he kept it / How he took up his position and / how to everybody's astonishment / and especially to his own he / caught a man out. / and how the ball caught him / and how he didn't like it / and how in his intense eagerness after the / ball, he forgot to look before him / and / how he assumed a horizontal / position in consequence / how in a frantic attempt to stump a man / out, he forgot the relative position of himself & the wickets / and how he found his / position uncomfortable / . How when about to distinguish himself he suddenly found himself in this position".
