Dear Cousin, Was glad to hear you were having a trip to Nantucket wish I was with you – had a very nice time on our vacation but I did have the rheumatism in my shoulder could not do one thing one thing with it.

Description An account of the resource Notes: Frank? Cousin Frank? Bessie? Another mystery… but my guess is that Frank (and his wife, Bessie?) are related from the Baker side of the family. One of Frank’s parents was probably a sibling of Mary Emma (Baker) Cotton. Frank, the author of this note, certainly has mastered a telegraphic style of writing. The greeting “Dear Cousin” is not the only time in these cards that the family relationship is explicitly stated. It makes it clear that family counted, and that much of the day-to-day contact was with people who were related.

Title A name given to the resource Nov. 1, 1914 A Subject The topic of the resource Minot’s Light, Boston, Harbor. Description An account of the resource Notes: The dating of this card is sheer guesswork. At this time he was working for the Life Saving Service in Gloucester, Mass and probably had an opportunity to get into Boston going or coming. The card was almost certainly included in a letter or package, hence no postmark. Nevertheless he addressed to Jennie at a Madaket Road residence. "your collection” At some point Jennie and her correspondents must have realized she was amassing a collection of these images of lighthouses. There are earlier hints of a lighthouse collection in the cards sent by A.W. Roberts.
