The link can be viewed and shows an image of a Tourist Card for a 30 day
visit to Brazil, issued by Ottawa, to Adolf Tom.  Curiousity made me check
various Canadian immigration sources.  One of interest:  
Ancestry.ca has an Adolf Tomm arriving in Canada in 1923.  His passage wass
paid for by his father and  his closest relative in Poland was his
grandfather. An Adolf Tom is buried in Edmonton (death1972).  That is an
interesting find.  If this is the person of interest, he was a tourist to
Brazil and returned to Canada.  To make sense, St. Edmonton should read as
the full address of his residence: 9858 - 87 Street, Edmonton, Alberta,
Canada.
