Laws For Me When I Am Old

With this title, a eight-year-old Baden-Powell, wrote the following in nice handwriting:
I will have the poor people to be as rich as we are, and they ought by rights to be as happy as we are, and all who go across the crossings shall give the poor crossing sweepers some money and you ought to thank God for what He has given us and He has made the poor people to be poor and the rich people to be rich and I can tell you how to be good, now l will tell it to you. You must pray to God when ever you can but you cannot be good with only praying but you must try very hard to be good.

The first name was intended as “author name”, while the latest is the extended signature. Note that the surname is Powell. The prefix Baden- was added later by his mother, in memory of her deceased husband Baden Powell.
