Dear Jennie, we arrived home all safe, how did you get home.  How tired you must have been.  Let me know.  I found all well at home, very glad to see me. Ha ha.  Dora’s husband is very low.  Expect another letter today will let you know.  Oh my I did have such a good time.  Wish I could see you this A.M. “but alas”  all send love to you myself included.  Love to Olney, &amp;amp; Uncle C.  As ever Lizzie.

This is the last card that Olney sent from Gloucester.  The last three in the group from Gloucester were all manufactured by the same company.  The coloring in this threesome of cards is really exquisite.  

Olney had good reason to puzzle over the silence from his mother.  Charles Nelson Cotton, her father, would die within a month, on November 5, 1914.

Lizzie…  who could she be?  

Retta!!!!  In San Francisco?  Of course.  She had grown up there.

The date drawn from the postmarks is a guess.  It is not known if the Exposition postmark was only used in 1915.  If it was May 7, what a disturbing card this must have been.
