In the lead Cadillac we see the 1907 May Queen, Anne Tidy, with Maids of Honour, friends and family. Anne is the one in centre back seat in white. She is turned around maybe to look at the Buick behind which is carrying the 1906 May Queen, Myrtle Starret, also in white. The photo enclosed shows Anne, front and centre, with Maids of Honour. Myertle with her Maids of Honour stand behind.

The first car looks like a one-cylinder 1907 Cadillac Model "M" with a Straight Light Touring Car body. The third car is likely another Cadillac model "M" as well. The cost was $950 (U.S.), which is about $26,000 today. The following year would be the last for Cadillac's single-cylinder models.
