Uncle Sam Talks Turkey

Uncle Sam is saying, "O.K., it's the day after Thanksgiving, now give it back." Well, at least it looks that way.

This card was sent in 1909. As best as I can tell, the message reads:

Hello Ed

Are you a liveing in the mountains

This nice weather.

Looked for you up this fall are you not a coming up.

This turkey is for your dinner.

from Mrs. H

Happy Thanksgiving!

Here's wishing you a happy Thanksgiving, just as Mr. Bumpus did when he sent this beautiful card to his daughter in 1911.

The Lovely Josephine

This card was sent to Josephine from Czechoslovakia. Josephine looked very much like the child on the right when she was young, but I don't suppose this is actually a picture of her. My Slovak language skills are sadly lacking, but should a Slovak wander by, a translation would be greatly appreciated.

I know that the card was received, but I don't know if it was actually mailed like this or not. The stamp has been removed and there is no visible cancellation. It may have been included in a package instead. I'm curious, because I notice that the state is missing from the address. Maybe it didn't matter.
