Inscriptions Typed in ink on slip of paper placed behind photograph: Plymouth Rock, taken by A. Thomas Nelson about 1925, showing the two halves of the rock cemented together for preservation. I believe it is now sheltered with a roofed and round fenced monument. This may have been a close-up taken within that area. Taken with someone's else camera or with one of the Board of Home Missions and Church Extension for whom he may have made the trip.
