This Warwick Bros. & Rutter card (no. 4143) has a postmark that looks like July 15, 1905 but I am not sure. It is the later fancy Warwick back. It is addressed to Miss H. Scammell, 48 Arnott St., New Kent Rd., London S. E. England.

Warships at Halifax, N.S.

This one is addressed to Mrs. John Stookberry, 60 Atlantic Terrace, Lynn, Massachusetts, U.S.A. and was posted at Halifax on July 3, 1903. I have a copy of this MacFarlane card already, but I liked the message on this one: "The Queen Hotel is old and dingy, but has an excellent table. The town is a disappointment. The harbour is wonderfully good but the town is far from picturesque, save for the Citadel and some few fine old buildings. H. W. P."

Warwick Bros. & Rutter no. 47[0?]6, posted August 19, 1907 at Port Arthur to Miss Genie Heugsler (?), No Freedom, Wisconsin. "Hello Genie: - Lonesome well I should say so. This is quite a town but I go next from here to Ft Francis [sic] and then into the bush. All the time in the bush among the black flies looking over mining property. Get about one day a month in the Soo. Wish I could have a few days in No Freedom and hear a little music. Give my best to Mrs. Ryan etc. add[ress]. Soo Ont. [name] On the third panel, the letter starts up again: Got back from Michipicoten yesterday and had two hours in the Soo. Don't like this being on the road all the time especially on the water. Got awfully sea sick coming down. Who is your new chemist and where does he stay. Same old Soo. Will be there in a month or so anyway. Tell Doc if he goes to Duluth to drop a line to me at Ft. Francis and meet me at Pt. Arthur. [name] Can't make out the name, unfortunately.
