The postcard above may be of the area where Marjorie and her mother visited. This postcard was not posted in the diary however I located it online and found that it was post-marked 4 days after this diary entry. So, whoever wrote it, may have run into Marjorie! The postcard is for sale and can be found on the following website:

Our great-grandmother was an amazing woman. And here, one hundred years later, we have her diary.
Take a trip to the past through the eyes of a teen-age girl, and marvel at how the world has changed -
and the many ways it has not.

July 27, 1912 - Saturday
27 Well, my starting-off day has at last arriven, so to speak I am bursting with pure joy. Was too late to go to breakfast but at about 10 Muz called up and made me go after all. Later - We had a comfortable ride to N.L. and took a taxi to the house. When we got there we found that Miss Clarke could not give us a room after all and we had to engage one across the road with a Mrs. Corbly. We will take our meals with Miss Clarke, though. New London is a gayer and more cheer-place than we imagined it. Muz and I walked down to the beach tonight after supper and it was a dandy one! I shall enjoy bathing there, I bet! We are going to go in bathing tomorrow at about ten. Chrissy behaved like the angel bird he is, on the way down here, and I certainly was relieved. I shall begin a new page for my stay here so shall write no more here.
