Post Card Saturday on Sunday - Again

So here we go again! The second installment of the May - Elizabeth post card odyssey! Sorry it's late again. I'll save you all the boring excuses, lol. Let's get to it!

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:



The message says:

May 17, 1934
This is a beautiful old town, right in the Berkshires. Leaving to-morrow morning for Greenfield, supposed to return here later.
                           May



Card #5, also from Massachusetts but Greenfield this time.. Post marked May 21, 1934

The back







And the message:

Hello, there, how are you  I passed through Holyoke on my way to Northanpton, before I came here.
This country is the heart of old new England -- not only beautiful, but very interesting.
                        May

The final card for the evening, #6, sent from Northampton again like the first. Post marked June 6.

The message:
Wednesday June 6th
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!
