This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.

She received some from her mother who worked as a domestic, and in turn received them from people for whom she worked. The oldest card is post marked 1904. Spelling et cetera done as written on the postcards If a field is blank, the information does not appear on the post card. The messages appearing on the cards are not transcribed here, however are in this researcher’s possession. In addition to the postcards, are 3x2 ½ sized cards depicting various landmarks in Boston, Massachusetts with writing on the back describing what the writer saw. I’ve not been able to connect them to a name in the scrapbook yet. The cards are spread throughout the book, I’ve grouped the cards that have the same addressee, but have not put them in timeline order. Will send copies to those interested. Hope someone finds this useful. The fields on the table (in my word document) are: To Whom Addressed From Whom Post Mark Date/Place Notes Miss. Faye I. Author 224-B 24th Ave N Seattle Wa W.M.
