That card up there is card number one for tonight, or I guess 4th overall. There are two from May 1934, and one from June. All three are from Massachusetts. Still no clue what May was doing traveling all over, but clearly her sister or cousin or close friend in New York was the recipient of all of these. And kept them, it seemed. No telling if Elizabeth traveled at all during this time and got them when she came back, or was permanently established in New York.
The detail of where Card #4 is from |
Remember - this was 1934. Women married young and that was her job the rest of her life. I need to write to this address in NY and see what I can find out...
Postmarked May 17 from Northampton, Massachusetts:

This is the trail I came over yesterday from Pittsfield to here. My, but it was beautiful! The weather stays plenty hot -- I love warm weather but there's a limit! May
So there you have it. Three more next week. I hope all 4 of you are enjoying this as much as I am!
