Postcard from Lincoln Park in 1916
This postcard showing a scene from Lincoln Park in Duluth has a handwritten message on the back dated Feb. 13, 1916 — 110 years ago today. It is postmarked on Valentine’s Day.
The recipient is Miss Florence Nelson of Atwater, Minnesota. The sender, Emily, notes on the front of the card that the park is two blocks away. Like the writting on the front, the message on the back was written in pencil, so it’s tricky to read, but it goes a little something like this:
2/13/16
Hello there. Got your card — glad to hear from you. S’pose you are out for a good time if the weather has been nice like it has been here today. (I and?) another lady were out for a good long walk. Hubby had to work to-day. Seen by the paper J. E. (Bonsta?) is married. Where is (Durbon?). Hope to hear all fine. Best. Mrs. (?) were here to visit me Fri and Sat last week. They are in Superior at present. Love from your (?). — Emily
