The two inscriptions are both in pencil, mainly on the recto of the second leaf but with the second extending somewhat onto the facing page. The upper of the two, signed by 'A. C. Mackenzie', is dated 4 November 1909, and carries a bar of music ('Benedictus') and the inscription: 'Long life and happiness to H. Finck.' The second, signed 'J. Mackenzie Rogan', also has a bar of music, with the inscription 'Many happy returns'.

Finck's 'In the Shadows' was one of the last tunes played as RMS Titanic went down.
