Postcard labelled "Princes St. from Scott Monument, looking West, Edinburgh" sent from cousin William in North Berwick to Miss Jenny Jardine. The front of the card has an oval-shaped, tinted photograph of an Edinburgh street, with buildings and a garden. Around this photograph is a design of red and green tartan with leaves. The words "ROYAL STUART" are printed at the bottom right.
On the back of the card is a brief handwritten message from William to Jennie Jardine. Her address was originally written as being in West Vancouver, but this has been crossed out and replaced with Alta Lake. There is a red one-penny British stamp in the top right corner. Card is postmarked 5 PM May 31 1921 in North Berwick and June 20 1921 in North Vancouver.

Postcard of two women on an ice boat on Alta Lake, a Dog walks nearby. The postcard has text on the front reading "Iceboating, Rainbow Lodge, Alta Lake BC". On the reverse the postcard is addressed to [Jeanne] Tapley at a Seattle address. The text reads "Dearest, will write you a letter next mail. Dad is fine now and is quite chirpy. I'll take him for a trip as soon as I can- I can take him to Victoria and leave him with M while I go on to you and arrange things then he could easily take the boat [over when we are] ready for him. I can't leave here till after Oct 29 [?] [?] duties and [?] [?], Best from Myrtle". Someone has at a later date written 1922 on the postcard, but the postmark is 30 Sep. 1925. Presumably the photograph the postcard was made from was taken in 1922.
