    Three little kittens
    They lost their mittens,
    And they began to cry,
    Oh, mother dear,

    Our mittens we have lost.
    What! lost your mittens,
    You naughty kittens!
    Then you shall have no pie.

    ...I am an abolitionist for the sake of my own race—Contact with the African degenerates our white race—I find the association with them injurious to my child—keenly as I watch to prevent it & his faithful nurse to help me ...
