I have an old hand written letter dating to around 1866.I have found this letter in a secret compartment of a gentlemans antique grooming box. The story reads about a lady of the night who sadly died in the sreets of Cincinatti and about her person were found manuscripts contnaing a poem entitled Beautiful snow.First published in 1870 in the National Union newspaper a man called Joseph Warren Watson takes credit for writing this poem.Did the lady of the night copy this poem or did she write it herself?
