Post Card Saturday!

So tonight I'm starting something special. Or sorta special. I guess I'll leave it up to you to decide, ha ha!

In the first batch of postcards that my student gave me were many addressed from the same person (May), to the same person (Mrs. Elizabeth Mason). I don't think these are all the cards there can be out there, and I suspect letters were sent as well. 

From the messages it seems the two are close, but I have no idea if they are related, good friends, or what. The handwriting is very good, though, lol. 

The cards themselves are from several different places, and May seems to be staying in hotels, so she must be traveling. It's hard to tell it all from just these 24 cards. 

They were all sent in 1934 and 1935. But I will post them all eventually, in chronological order of them being sent.

This week I'm starting with three, and I'll figure out next week if I do the rest individually, three at a time, or by location. I'm open to suggestions! 

These first three are all from Raleigh, NC in 1934. Up top is the front of the first one, dated May 4, 1934. Here's the detail of the bottom, stating where the card is from.

Here's the back. Sorry it's blurry.






And here's the message, much clearer, lol.

Took (?) bus out to State College --- it is perfect enormous --- building after building and extensive grounds, beautifully kept.

This next is also from Raleigh, of course, dated May 10

The front and detail of where it is:

The back






And the message:

This is close to the heart of town - no trolley tracks are shown in picture and right now they are working on the Capital grounds --- fixing them all up --- will look when finished of course.
May


And here is the 3rd, dated May 10th also. I suspect they were written on different days and mailed on the same one. Later postcards have her dates on them, but these early ones just have the postmark to go by.

And the message  :)

Don't think I sent you a card of my hotel before. My(?) room is on the side not shown in picture --- on the 9th floor, with the most beautiful view over the homes in this end of town, and way out in the country. I'll hate to lose this view!
May

So there you have it. Not just Post Card Saturday, but a series of them! By all means, leave a comment if you want to make a suggestion as to how to present these. One at a time, three at a time, all from the same place, or any other combination, lol.

Enjoy!
