Perrott, Miss. Not identified. "Died in India" [IX, 33–34. Feb. 25, 1854] is addressed to the friends and family of a young woman who died in "a strange alien land"; it offers them the consolation that she found death more welcome than life and that she is now with the angels, watching over her loved ones on earth. In the event that her name was misspelled in the Office Book, the contributor may be Marianne Parrott, writer of scripture stories and moral tales in verse and prose for children, and occasional contributor to periodicals.
