Comments now working again! Go comment on my previous post to enter the drawing!
It's hard to believe, but this is the next to last May-Elizabeth post! One more next week, and you'll see why I'm as stymied now as I was at the start. She drops a clue in the second card about what she's doing, but just the tiniest hint and no more. More questions than answers, as they say. If I ever do try more research on this, I will definitely post it here on the ol' blog, though.
But here we go - May is on the move again!
The first postcard at the top is still Miami, even written and sent the same day as the last postcard from the last post. But she is leaving. No reason why...
Here's the detail of the card:
The full back
And the message:
Wednesday, March 6th
Notice the flowers at the Club House at Hialeah Track. I am leaving Miami to-day for Jacksonville, Florida.
May
The next one is, indeed, from Jacksonville, nine days later. Notice the little tear at the bottom. I wonder if these were in an album someplace and got torn out. It seems unlikely, given there aren't tears on any of the others.
Here's the detail of the card.
All of the back
The message - note the hint about working with a store...
Friday, March 15
This is a lovely park in the heart of town.
The store I am working with is on one side of this park.
May
Now of course - click "Read More" to... you know, lol. Read more!
The third card today is in a different place once again - Atlanta GA. And there is another mention of "we", but of course, no idea who the other person is. Or persons, I guess, lol.
Here's the detail. I don't know why the phone wouldn't clear up, but trust me, it says Atlanta, GA
The back, as always
And the message - 15 days later. There's no telling of there were other cards or letters in between, but my guess is that there would be.
Sat. March 30th
This painting is marvelous --- we went out to the Cyclorama yesterday, and certainly enjoyed it.
May
So there you have it. Just one more next week, and May and Elizabeth will be left to the mists of history. Unless I can think of some way to look deeper and figure out who they were and such.
But for now - enjoy!
:)
