Description
Alt text: The back of a vintage postcard with a divided back format. The top center features the text "Post Card" in decorative, stylized lettering. The left half has the instructions "This space may be used for communication." The right half has four horizontal lines for the address and the instruction "The address only to be written here." The top right corner has a framed area for a stamp that reads "Place Stamp Here. One cent stamp for United States, Canada and Mexico. Two cent stamp for all other countries." A small decorative logo, consisting of an arrow through a stylized script, is near the left border. The entire back of the postcard is covered in handwritten text which is difficult at times to make out, but reads in part, "Hello, Was glad to hear from you. Well, how is everybody to home? Why didn't you come down yesterday? We certainly had a hot time. Wish you were here. Walter and I were out bicycle riding. I had such a bad cold that I could ever have had. I am a little better now but my throat is still sore. We're having good times in school. Miss Ella told you about old chum Walter. I suppose you are soon through seeding, ha, ha. Gertrude is scolding us all the time but what do I care? The more she scolds the worse we are. Too bad you can't come, we're missing you very much. Don't forget the 25th of August if everyting is just OK or before. Suppose you're about tired of reading. Bye-bye old chum. Hope to see you soon. Hurrah for lonely pal. From, Robert." A band below the postcard has the text "Palczewski Suffrage Postcard Archive."
