AI Notes
A loose-leaf lined-paper album page with four sepia snapshots mounted in two rows of two; all four photo captions are in pencil. The children’s key reads: position 5 is ‘Nancy Parker’; position 2 reads as ‘Amy Allston’ (uncertain — could still be ‘Mary’); the bottom-foot name reads ‘Dee’ (canonical for Emma Dee Walker Corbell). The captions on the lower-left and lower-right photos read ‘A. F. W.’ (Amy FitzSimons Walker).
The initials “A. F. W.” stand for Amy (FitzSimons) Walker — compiler of the album.
