Hello again. I am so glad you have recovered and are now well. Daisy is so gorgeous, whenever I see her I just have to smile. The quality of this restoration is second to none. Your manual skill and artistic flair means that your work is always beautiful and will give pleasure for very many years to come. The ebony stain with the gold dividers adds even more quality to this wonderful box. I would have like to have seen their faces when they saw it for the first time, I think that your mother in law will have great pride and pleasure showing it to her friends. This was so very thoughtful and another demonstration of your goodness and quality.

That poem was written by poet laureate and journalist Alfred Austin in 1896. The poem was about the Jameson raid which was an unsuccessful attempt to quash the Boers in South Africa and bring them under the rule of British Colonialism. Hearing the name of the poem I immediately connected it to baronnette Leander Starr Jameson. He was a cruel brutal man and with as much fervor as the cruel English Generals in India at the same time was determined to crush the innocent Boer farmers into the colonial system. The raid was unsuccessful because the Boer used guerrilla tactics to protect their families and communities which the British forces had not encountered before. These same tactics were used by the Western Allies during World war 1 when the South Africans along with equally able Australians fought against the Ottomans in Egypt and the Germans in France. If that box could talk it probably could tell a lot of tales. It is great that you restored it.

The poem is called “Jameson’s Ride”. IIRC, Alfred Austin was the last poet laureate appointed by Queen Victoria in 1896. I remember learning this poem in school. The poem is based on British colonial administrator Leander Starr Jameson and Cecil Rhodes, Prime Minister of the Cape Colony. Wikipedia has a nice little write-up on the incident.

BIG TIP when screws and nails have been in the wood a long time they form a bond. Use an ELECTRIC SOLDERING IRON on the head for a minute . It expands the screw/nail and breaks the bond with the wood when it cools (seconds) it is so much easier to remove.
