The message reads:

Dear Uncle,

Your little nephew sends you his greetings for your birthday and a thousand kisses and hugs.

Baby

I don't even know what to say.

Only a Paper Moon

I absolutely love these old paper moon real-photo postcards that people used to have taken at fairs and other events. The only problem is that you can spend a small fortune collecting them.

I'll just have to satisfy myself  with a few, and enjoy looking at other collections.
Here's a very nice collection set to the appropriate music.

And if that's not enough for you, there are more on Flickr.
 
Here are the lyrics of Paper Moon, written by Harold Arlen, Billy Rose, and E. Y. Harburg.

Say, its only a paper moon
Sailing over a cardboard sea
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me

Yes, it's only a canvas sky
Hanging over a muslin tree
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me

Without your love
It's a honky-tonk parade
Without your love
It's a melody played in a penny arcade

It's a Barnum and Bailey world
Just as phony as it can be
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me
