Girl_in_the_Woods

Girl_in_the_Woods: "This postcard is one of my favorites. It shows a beautiful girl in the woods curiously looking at an owl. The pink detail given to the girl's dress adds a
sweet touch to the picture.

Bertha once again writes to her dear friend on August 30, 1908. "
This is a small but lovely postcard collection with Postcards showing people and places - all sent to one girl - Would a contemporary lover be able of that kind of unflagging affection and incessnat passion and refined wording of all this? Note the complimentary greeting Darling used in Mexiko, the American girls setting obviously the tone.
I would rate it excellent. a telling sample of time and feeling from the turn of the last century.
