Now don't forget to ans. this and some day I will tell U what you said about me. f.f.B. his could be t.t.B, not sure, but he seems like a suitor. I like him - he seems sassy.

Greetings from Custar, O.

Dear Friend, We are all quite well Jimmie is feeling fine Your loving friend Mary Bates Custar O. This is odd because there is no postmark, but we obviously know where it comes from. The stamp is unusual - all of them have been one cent Ben Franklin stamps. This stamp is a Commemorative Series 1907 United States of America Founding of Georgetown Capt. John Smith. I did a little web research. It's a rare stamp. Unused, it's worth $150.
