Social satire; on deck of a war-ship, one sailor holds a letter addressed to "Tom Truelove" and puts his other hand on his heart, looking sad, while another sailor gestures out to sea, with one hand round the other's shoulder, encouragingly; a text in rhyme below the image explains that Tom Truelove received a letter saying his love was dead and was ready to drown himself, but stayed to fight instead and died in battle.  25 May 1795
