Post card sent to Miss Patricia Rorke on June 23, 1940 from her sister, Yvonne. The following was written on the back of the post card: ''We stayed here last night, Pat, in the rooms marked with X, on this card. We could not stay in the cabins as they were all taken up. We hope to get to the American side of Niagara tonight. We are having a wonderful time with nice weather which is not too warm. Love, Yvonne.'' The Rorke Family Photograph Collection contains 301 black and white and 28 colour photographs of the Rorke Family of Carbonear, Newfoundland, as well as the Forward and Bemister families from that area who are linked to it by marriage. Although spanning from the 1840s-1970s, most photos are from 1900-45, showing family events, homes and Newfoundland and Labrador locations. There is also an album of photos taken while James Rorke attended the Leys School in Cambridge, England.
