                <text>Notes:

The home on Maddaket Road was at least a mile out of town.  Emma seems to be suggesting that Jennie would walk to town and, once the boat arrived, the two of them would hire a ride back to Jennie’s home. 

Emma did make the trip to visit Jennie and her father, Charles Nelson Cotton.  It may very well have been the last time that Emma saw her father.  He would die in Nantucket a little over a year later, on November 5, 1914, at 80. A 'Personal' note published in the Nantucket Inquirer and Mirror on September 6, 1913, recorded the visit:  "Mrs. Franklin N. Blake, of Pawtucket, has been a guest of Jennie Dunham, for two weeks." </text>

“Aunt A” is Anna Melia Baker, born on the 15th of August, 1839.   When Emma wrote this card, Anna would have been 71.  This woman was only a couple of years younger than Emma’s mother Mary Emma (Baker) Cotton.  Given Mary Emma’s death at 47 or 48, it is likely that Aunt Anna was an important figure for both Emma and Jennie.
