The message on the reverse expresses a personal sentiment, likely from a family member or friend. The card is adorned with a well-preserved 1-cent green stamp featuring George Washington, adding to its historical value. Condition: This postcard shows some wear along the edges, with minor corner bumps and light surface marks.
