Lovely. Treasures, as the others have all said.

Scan the note, and print it onto fabric & sew it as a label. Add to the information. "A hundred years ago" from when? needs to be more specific so the provenance is not lost as time goes on.

Oh, please at least put some date reference on the notes ... and the names of the people involved .... It will help your own children in figuring it all out later ..... What treasures! Thanks for sharing.
