Opening the jacket to the inside cover you can see Woodward added a spoof of what you would find in a traditionally published book - the credits page. It reads, "The Love-leaf - Being merely an old sheet of poor new print for Helen Ives, on June 13, 1907; yet wor-ding an exquisite bit of Pauline. Miserably printed by me, Robert Strong Woodward."
  We believe Woodward was attempting to be humorous, however, his self-pity seems to be more pervasive. His effort to come across as humble feels more like pathetic, as most of us would experience after such a life-changing event. Note the words he uses - old, poor, and miserable - in his description. They suggest his insecurity and uncertainty. they are weak a passively- aggressive.
 As we have already noted, the cover was made in the later summer of 1906. This page is dated June 13, 1907, and so we believe it was completed shortly before he sent it. The calligraphy is concise and consistent suggesting he was able to steady his hand. [Due to his condition, Woodward suffered phantom pain, as well as, involuntary and intermittent twitching of his legs which bothered him greatly because it often jarred the lap-desk he used to sketch and draw.] Still, his line-spacing is off and inconsistent.
 For someone so precise in his craftmanship, even if this was an intentional attempt at being unconventional, it is a poor choice. Line-spacing is important for balancing negative space and

distinguishing section breaks and groupings. The large gap between line 2 [ending in Helen] and line 3 [starting with "Ives," her middle name] is bad form especially considering the name being broken. Then he does away with spacing all together grouping the next two lines [4,5] closer to line 3 and even that spacing it uneven.
 Furthermore, lines 3, 4, and 5 do away with his sightline of the right margin and awkwardly hyphenates "wording" and does away with his justification spacing for line 4. In terms of graphic design, this is a layout disaster. His line breaks could have solved most of his issues and tightened the layout into a nice block:

"Being  merely  an old sheet of
poor  new  print  for Helen Ives
on, June 13, 1907; yet wording
an  exquisite   bit   of  Pauline."

  Lines 2 and 3 have too many words and lines 1, 4, and 5 does not have enough. Our example eliminates a need for a fifth line entirely. This is not a hyper-criticism of Woodward's work on this page. It is an illustration of how 'out of alignment,' or not seeing straight he may have been. The layout of the verse from Pauline is a return to typical Woodward form.
