Perfect Duluth Day

Postcard from the Rustic Bridge at Lester Park in 1912

This postcard of the Rustic Bridge at Lester Park was mailed on New Year’s Eve of 1912 — 110 years ago today — to Mrs. Frank Larson of Stockholm, Wis.

The not-so-easily deciphered message on the back reads something like:

Duluth Sun p.m.
Dear Cousin,
I’ve been thinking about you and all so will drop you a card to let you know I am up here. How are you anyway? Had letter from Ida not long ago while am at home but not from Amanda for some time but [Carl?] has been there. [Let me hear?]
Address 637 Woodland Ave.
[Hannaly?]
