The Milburn Residence, Buffalo, N.Y.


Dear Katie, I just got back from Buffalo. Had Gailen there. Have to take him back in 10 days. They say they can cure him. They all say that. I don't get much chance to write. Write and let me know how you are. I was in Buffalo two days and nights. Mike's father went with me. Try an come out here this summer. Hattie. Hattie must have a child that is ill. It seems as though she is weary of doctors' promises. She sounds like she needs a friend. The subtitle on this card reads, "Where President McKinley died. September 14, 1901. (x) Shows location of Room in which he Died." I could not locate the "x". That must be McKinley in the oval inset.

Dear Katie, We moved to N.Y. We got here today. ??? stood big trip good. Will hear from me again. Mrs. Mike Kane, Wellsville, N.Y. This is postmarked from Wellsville, obviously, but I can't make out the year. This card is stunning - there are gold accents and it is embossed.
