It’s difficult to unravel the itinerary.  Did Eva (and Hilda) travel by train to Montreal, then home to Braenot (?) via the Canadian Pacific railroad?

It is fairly certain that this series of four cards from Eva was sent in October of 1908.  Were these summer people?  People who came to work in Nantucket for the summer crowd?

                <text>Notes:

"Nantucket is healthy..."  there is good reason for this comment of Emma's.  The drawback of living in a 19th century industrial center was the industrial pollution.  

The text of Emma's message begins on the face of the card and continues onto the reverse side.  The news that Aunt "Carrie" - Caroline Read (Cotton) Fifield - had a bad cold is probably secondary to the announcement that Emma and Carrie have telephones.

Another card with discoloration from the mounting in an album.    

There is a the horse-drawn street car at the far left.

(Face)
Dear Jennie
Arrived home all right.
I am not very well to day.  I think it is the change of water.  I do hope I did not put you out too much.  Nantucket is healthy-  good water.  I wish I had some this minute.  
If we do not go out to the farm Sunday I will (write)?

Lovingly Emma

Aunt Carrie, said over the phone, she was sick last week with bad cold.
