A letter from Carl Nelson updating his friends on his new home on Cranberry island. This letter says " I have retired and moved from Boston to this island of unique design located just off the coast of Mt. Desert Island, Maine." He goes on about how tranquil and relaxing he finds the island and his deer neighbors. He ends the note with " In excellent health I am looking forward to retirement as a very exciting adventure." He notes his new address at the bottom of the card. This card looks as though it was a mass send to his friends and acquaintances to be updated on his new life and address.
