Dearest Mother,

They were with us on the Circus? (Crisus). ? met her husband yesterday on the st. and he invited us down to the Hotel last nite. It was 3 am when we came home had a nice supper at the Hotel Restaurant. They want us to travel with them this year. It snowed again last night & is colder this AM.

Hope you're all well & having lots of fun and that Laurels shoulder is O.K. I'll see you when I get home. Fern said when I wrote to tell you hello, Eve. Took some pictures up there I'll show you soon.
Love, Margaret

Postcard: Front: Mountain Scenery
The path uphill, around the pine,-
One common thought, 'tis yours and mine;
Much could be said about this place,
This blessing to the human race.
It stands in majesty alone,
And better even than a throne,-
The carpenter built it for two,
And backward glance, with pride to view.
"Tis rough from mountain lumber made,
Beneath the forest's cooling shade,-
Concealed with brush, before and 'hind,
Long may it stand and serve mankind.

    About​

    After purchasing a large lot of postcards I became fascinated! The idea that these messages are from over 100 years ago is amazing and I wanted a way to preserve and share them.
