Addressed to Miss M. Kinnell, 7 Gillespie Place, Edinburgh, Scotland and posted at Hamilton, Ont., on September 23, 1907. "Your cards are certainly the nicest views I get anywhere, must be a beautiful country all right enough. The rapids shown in this view here are very fierce, boil + roar, and kick up quite a racket. A man was mad enough some years ago to try + swim them but that was his "finish". Sincerely, EBT." Valentine & Sons no. 100,843. Note the admonition on the front of the card to "just pass by" the writer's North American slang.

Full up with all sorts of interest. Ambulance work to the fore now. Yours etc. M. Millard, 11 Poplar Plains, Toronto."
