Contributor, Judy B. Forgos has submitted for posting this wonderful postcard, dated May 14, 1912. Thanks, Judy!

The person who wrote the card did so writing upside down on the back of the card. I have displayed the back of the card right side up, showing the post office stamp and date, and upside down so the message can be read. Enjoy!
