View on Spirit Lake, Vicinity Duluth and Superior
“Dear Ed and Edith,” begins the message on this postcard, mailed July 31, 1907. The penmenship gets funky in places, but the rest goes something like this: “Arrived here last night — fine trip up — leave in a few minutes for Minneapolis, where we remain until Saturday. Everything has been grand. Yes, even the weather. Trust you are full of ??? Lake like-?ess. We would be if we could get a ??? in it. Lovingly, ??? and ???”
Here is a zoom in on the text in case anyone wants to attempt to decipher the scribbles.
“…Trust you are full of this Lake like-ness. We would be if we could get a boat in it. Lovingly, Charlie and Maggie.”
The first sentence is still confusing, but I think I figured out that last one.
Same postcard, different people, a year later.
