Title A name given to the resource June 19, 1912 A Subject The topic of the resource Old Slater Mill, Pawtucket, R.I. First Cotton Mill in America Description An account of the resource Notes: "the long walk..." This may be the point at which Jennie, Olney, and Charles moved out of town to somewhere along the Madaket Road. No question that the coloring of the mill building is accurate – to this day. It should be possible to check on news reports of the fires in the Slater mill during this period. For Pawtucket, this mill will become its single most important historical site. This textile factory will launch the industrial revolution and the middle class lives that most of the descendants of Ben Cotton (the elder) would live. There are several instances in the collection where two cards were sent on the same day. In these cases the date on one card has been altered. The date for this card has been altered. https://cottonhistories.com/files/original/98918cad7ef5e4c4104fb5ef28e1f4f0.jpg 64c6f2fa32760294694c51a277aae6bb Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

Title A name given to the resource Sept. 6, 1912 A Subject The topic of the resource Approach to Oswegatchie House, Waterford, CT Description An account of the resource Notes: I am assuming that Emma is traveling with her husband. Franklin N. Blake is listed in a 1911 publication of proceedings of the Atlantic “Deeper Waterways” Convention: http://www.archive.org/stream/annualconventio00assogoog/annualconventio00assogoog_djvu.txt Oswegatchie is a section of Waterford that borders the Niantic River, a navigable inlet along the Connecticut shore. The advocates for “Deeper Waterways” were interested in port improvements and new intra-coastal waterways (i.e. the Cape Cod Canal, begun in 1909 and completed in 1916). At the 4th annual convention, 1911, (recorded in this publication linked above,) the organizers announced that they would hold their next meeting in New London, at some point during the month of September. The Blakes were in Waterford so that Franklin could attend the 1912 convention. Emma says here and on other occasions that she has gotten a number of cards for Jennie. My guess is that these cards were sent along as a group. However, the collection may have been divided in two: the unmarked cards (so to speak) and those with messages.
