Card to Grandma is Returned

 

I think the mailman probably made every effort to deliver this. Unfortunately, the sender wrote the number 1 in the German style, which looks more like our 7.  So, the postman tried to deliver the card to 276 Avenida Majorca, instead of 216. Sadly, Grandma's card was returned and she never got to see the picture her granddaughter drew of herself wearing the new outfit she had sent her.

George Washington

 

George Washington, the first president of the United States, was born on this date in 1732. When Washington died in 1799, Henry Lee delivered the funeral oration, saying that of all Americans, Washington was "first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen."

The message on the card says:

Dear cousin

Arrived home + heard that Eugene Lynch (?) housekeeper was dead + buried. maybe you have heard of it.  Mary
