The "Spirit of '76"


Hello there I suppose you think I entirely forgot about you but I did not. How are you and all. Best to all. I hope you enjoy the 4. Your Friend Anna. I think this is from my Great Granny, even though it says "friend" instead of "sister". It's postmarked from Lorain, Ohio, June 17, 1908. I really like the representation of the "spirit" on this card. It reminds me of the holy ghost.
