MAY - JUNE Page 105 Toledo, Ohio September 8, 1905 Dear Nellie: Arrived home last Friday. Found your letter and postal. I have received two other cards from you; this is all I have heard from you for over a month. This is a picture of the dear old boat on which we had our fine trip to Duluth. I took it just as we left it, after boarding John Craig's steam yacht "EDITH" at the mouth of the Detroit River. The boat went on to Lo- rain and we came home on the "EDITH'"', I did not mention your letter of this week. It came and I will answer on Sunday. Love Cordelia The postcard was written to Miss Nellie Cobliegh, 340 Lafay- ette Avenue, Brooklyn, New York. Evidently Miss Cordelia had a pleasent trip, and incidentally knew how to take a good ship picture, and must have had a_ good camera at least for those days.
