Brookside Cemetery - Winnipeg

Card 12 in the De Nobele series is Brookside Cemetery. This one was mailed on March 26 (year missing but 1906 would be most likely) to Miss D. Worfolk, 5 Browning Road, Enfield, Middx., Englad, with the message: "Dear Do, I am sending you another with this one to make up for some you have not had." Perhaps "Do" was a collector.

Ice Leaving Assiniboine, Winnipeg

Posted March 2, 1906, this embossed card by Novelty Souvenir Co. was sent to Dorothy but intended for "Harry", as the letter states: "Dear Dorothy, I am sending this P.P.C. for Harry. I sent one to you at the beginning of the week. Your letter to H arrived safely yesterday. He is working at the other end of City, (still for the C.P.R. you know) therefore is feeling too tired to wrie when he gets home. He thought you would be anxious if you did not get a reply as quickly as previous letters . He will write to you next week. Fondest love from us both, H + E." Exactly where the photo is on the Assiniboine is unclear, although my guess would be that that is the Main Street Bridge -- not sure, but if it were the case then "ice leaving Assiniboine" would be literally true.
