Subject: Playful kittens
Type: Greeting card
Postmark: Osceola, Iowa (1909)
Message: “Dear Friend Vere: – Thank you very much for the walnuts. I just made some candy and put some of the nuts in it and it tastes very good. Your teacher.”
I cropped out of this image what is probably the best part of this card: an additional handwritten note: “These are the kittens that got into the soft soap.” Intriguing! It’s a shame we’ll never know the backstory.
