Endpaper wish

One hundred years ago, Aunt Annie wrote an inscription for the endpaper of a book:
 
one flyleaf wish

 
   A. N. Acheson,
with Aunt Annie's dearest love.
                   Palm Sunday 1925.
                                      ===
 
 
Over the years, the endpapers experienced foxing:

book endpapers


and the pasted in inscription has imprinted itself onto the flyleaf.  The book:
 
 
page with title

 
"The Last Letters of Blessed Thomas More", is also heavily foxed.  
 
N.B., in 1925, Palm Sunday was on April 5th.
