Context

The front is a scene of Canada's Pavilion dominated by a great inverted pyramid called "Katimavik" (Eskimo for "Meeting Place"). Handwritten at the top is 'Built on 3 islands middle of St. Lawrence River". (The text reads) The Fair is marvelous. There were 284,000 people there yesterday. This will be our 3rd day. Could stay a month and never see it all. We rode the subway and it was exiting. The picture of the front is about 1/50th of the whole Fair. U. S. display is one of the best. Russia is good but full of propaganda. Tell Roger "Hello" for me. Kay
