Postcard from Somewhere on Skyline Parkway

This postcard depicts a scene at one of the many creeks that intersect Skyline Parkway, aka “The Bouvelard,” in Duluth. The postmark is not completely legible, but it shows the card was mailed on June 8 of some year prior to 1917, when the postal rate for postcards was increased from one cent to two cents.

The recipient of the card was Mr. Emil Brasgalla of Cheboygan, Michigan. The message on the back reads:

Hello Emil: Received your card but (?) sorry that you are going solilh (?). Why don’t you come here as there is lots of work here. I am well and working yet. Don’t forget to write after you go. — Elizabeth
