Some of the vintage cards in the cache recently received had been sent. At top is the message on one from 1949, referencing a travel journal that had made it it to the sender's state and sparked her interest in communicating with its creator.
The one in the middle is from 1907, a message from a school girl accepting an invitation to play croquet. Reminds me of Anne of Green Gables.
The third one is from a card unsent. Was this a real proposal or a bit of social messaging fluff? Dig the line about the stockings rolled below the knee.
One of my favorite messages, written in pencil as so many long-ago messages were, includes these lines: "We had a supper last night. They gave me about a pint of wild raspberries + a mustard glass of wild strawberries + a jar of thimbleberry jam * a bunch of roses. I'm ironing today."
