A one-page poem, "My Needle," by Sophonisba Peale Sellers, addressed to her sewing needle as a comfort in lonely hours, in conversation, and during illness. It was copied from a ladies' album of the 1840s that she gave to her daughter Anna. A brief biographical note identifies her as the daughter of the artist Charles Willson Peale and wife of Coleman Sellers of Philadelphia.
