AI Notes
A cream envelope mounted on the album page, franked with a 2-cent red Washington stamp and a circular postmark reading ‘YONGES ISLAND, S.C. / MAY 27 / 4 30 PM / 1926’. Killer bars to the right of the postmark. Addressed in brown ink in the same hand as the letter on pages 104–106. The mailed letter from Amy’s mother — Mary Anne Perry FitzSimons (“Minnie”), b. 1859, d. 1934 — was sent from Yonges Island, where the family kept the Fair View plantation. The street name is Post Street (consistent with the 1535 Post St. Jacksonville address used on multiple envelopes).
