Every Little Helps


No signature. Sent from Weston September 14, 1 PM, 1905. I like this illustration. The well-to-do fellow looks sidelong at the poor schlub with his mismatched shoes and whiskers - reluctant to give up his coin. I love the font, also. It's copyrighted 1905 by E. B. & E.

Flowers


We are here talking to --- We are going to Detroit Sunday tell Mrs. B. Julia. This is postmarked from Weston. Who are they talking to? Why was the name intentionally left off of the card?

North Pond, Weston Cemetary


Miss Katie Dear Friend. I am not yet dead. There is a dance in Weston Weston Ohio. Wish it was so I could go but I guess not unless I make it late. Dawson.

This is postmarked from Weston, Jan 12 3PM, but the date is somewhat illegible. My guess is 1909. I am wondering as I post this correspondence for the world to see, if my relations would approve. Not that i'm disillusioned to think that a lot of people are reading, but there is an element of voyeurism here. I have looked through this book many times, but i've never taken the cards out to read them.
