AI Notes

A single black-and-white snapshot mounted at the center of the album page. The page bears no caption — confirmed at full resolution. The photograph shows a one-and-a-half-story frame house with a deep screened porch supported by slender columns, two gabled dormers in the metal roof, and live oaks draped with Spanish moss at left and right. Plantings of low shrubs run along the foundation; bare sandy ground in the foreground. The print is contemporary with the photographs of garden and grounds on pages 109–112 and likely shows Fair View, the FitzSimons plantation on Yonges Island referenced in the 1926 letter from Mother (pages 104–106) and its envelope postmarked at Yonges Island (page 107).

Fair View was the FitzSimons family’s plantation on Yonges Island, an Edisto-basin sea island south of Charleston where Amy’s mother Mary Anne Perry FitzSimons lived in her final years. The May 1926 letter on pages 104–106 was written from Fair View and references the household’s move into the house “on Saturday.” Pages 108–112 form a connected sequence of grounds-and-garden views of the property.
