Signed Postcard CAPTURED Messages on Postcards Early 1900s

CAPTURED

Postcards are still a good, economical way to send a message today if you don't mind the lack of privacy and your message is short. In the early part of the 20th Century it cost one penny to mail a postcard. It would be interesting to find out what else cost a penny at that time.

The writing on this postcard is faint, so I have darkened the card a bit to make it easier to read. The postmark is barely there and completely unreadable.

Here is a postcard where the image presented doesn't come close to matching the message. As with previous messages posted here, this one comes right to the point.

Addressed to:
Mrs. M. Austin

Message:

My dear Mrs. A.
I heard that you come pretty close to being burned up. That was too bad. It must have been a pretty bad scare and you flat on your back. How is that little granddaughter of yours? Did you get April fooled? I did and prety bad too. With love, Ruth
