The first picture is a note from the gift giver.  It roughly translates to:

Mr. Thomas,
Please enjoy.
From the Republic of China.
Li Sin Textile (?) Company

The second is the gift itself, a poem.

Immigrants & Emigrants - General / Re: Chinese translation

It’s an idiom consisting of the four words luck, star, general and shine.  My rough translation is “the lucky star shines on all.”

Other Countries / Re: Signature in Chinese - French West Indies - 1863

It’s not a signature. It’s an idiom that's made up of the four words wealth, luck, sky, open.  My rough translation is the luck of making money is limitless.
