I wonder if the letter E was left off the word little on purpose?
Here's the back of the card.
The message reads:
Dear Mother - I got my C. yesterday and they are grand. Have been working ever since. Think they would be nice for you? ? Don't know when we will can come up, - the car isn't near ready. We may go down to Tracy's folks awhile to morrow. I haven't done much this week, I guess it is the weather. Had a card from Aunt Jasmine (?) saying she thot (?) would come but not a word from Cooper's. I have written to them again. Lovingly, L.
On the side it says:
I want you to stop working so hard + I mean business. I'll come up next week some way.

ReplyDeleteA sweet card!
ReplyDeleteVery nice postcard and all these stories about Tracy Graham's family are very interesting.
ReplyDeleteThat's a nice design and a sweet card. I didn't notice the missing "e" until you pointed it out, but I think it's a mistake.
ReplyDeleteThe card is postmarked in Delhi, NY and sent there too- having gone to college in Delhi for a year, I'm not sure why Lizzie needed the car to get to her mom, since it is a pretty darn small town... I'm guessing that in 1917 alot of the folks out there still got around on horses too. I think they left the 'e' off 'little' on purpose to make the card a bit more quaint.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea that there's a typo on the front. Hand lettering mistake. Oh boy did someone get a verbal lashing.
