The photograph shows two young boys dressed in a full length portrait in choir robes. The book, "Act of Faith", identifies them as W.B. Brady, 1910; Earl Whitlock, 1911.
This large-print Book of Common Prayer is inscribed with "Peter Macgowan" and also contains inserts and handwritten notes. The inscription donating the book is as follows: Mr. Hodgson, Dear Sir, I send you my father Mr. Peter Macgowan's prayer book as I feel that it ought to be given to St. Peter's Church he being a member and very much interested in it. And if you would like to keep it I give it to you for that purpose. Very truly yours, Emilie Gray, Monday.
Also included in the book are several handwritten entries that appear to record the arrivals to and departures from Prince Edward Island of many people over a number of years, as well as the burial (and sometimes disinterment) of notable people. Notable events and church news are also included.
This bible was used by the congregation at St. Mark's Anglican Church, Rustico, Prince Edward Island. The leather cover is embossed with a wreath which says "British and Foreign Bible Society"
The "self-interpreting" bible, with notes by Rev. John Brown, D.D., is also referred to within St. Peter's Cathedral Church as "the Wadman Bible." Inside the pages of the book are an envelope addressed to T. Edgar McNutt from William H. H. Wadman, postmarked 22 August 1963, enclosing a letter asking that the bible be put into safekeeping at St. Peter's Cathedral. William Wadman notes that the bible contains a family record of the family of Henry D. Wadman. The genealogical information itself is listed on pages between the Old and New Testaments.
The book includes a bookplate for E. J. Hodgson with the inscription "E. J. Hodgson from his brother George." The date of 1848 seems to correlate to the inscription, not the publication date.
The photograph is a three-quarter length portrait of Reverend Dr. John Mason Neale. A handwritten note on the back of the photograph reads "Dr. Neil." Research confirms that the portrait is that of John Mason Neale (24 January 1818 – 6 August 1866), an Anglican priest, scholar and hymn writer. The photographer's name, W. Walker & Sons, is shown on the front bottom left and the photographer's address is on the left bottom right.
