Postcard tour of the island. Cards have notes and descriptions and family messages, all in the same hand, some signed "Urania" or "U.C.B." Probably Urania J. Coombs, married to Isaac M. Burgess. Two cards dated Dec. 23, 1917. None are addressed or postmarked; at least some appear to have been sent as a bundle to one person: "My dear cousin" . . .
