A Happy Birthday to You

If it's your birthday today, may it be a glorious one.


Here are the backs of the cards. The first one was sent or given to Paula Petersen. Can you read the message?


 
The second card card was sent to Mrs. Louise (?) Rockwell of Rockwell's Mills, New York. You can read more about the mill and see some great pictures here.

  1. 'Warmest congratulations on your birthday'? It looks a bit like Dutch: 'Hartelijke gelukwensen voor je geboortedag'.

  7. Sorry- I think the first one is supposed to be symbolic of a 'special delivery' arriving in a suitcase (birth), but it reminds me of a child in a casket, so I'm gonna lean towards the Shirley Temple-esqe gal with the clover on the second one.
