Writing exercise for lighthouse children

According to family sources this writing exercise was completed one of the Bennett children while at Pencarrow. The word 'Overwhelm' is repeated on the left page and 'Perseverance' on the right.

It suggests that Mary Bennett taught the children herself, before deciding to return to England for the sake of their education in 1865.
