Postcards from Pennsylvania
Collectors of American postcards, and especially World War I ephemera, may be interested in three more postcards in the collection of Vintage Merchants Tansley & Co, Maldon, Victoria, Australia. They also provided enough clues to discover their linked family history. CARD No. 1 This has an indistinct coloured image of the Declaration of Independence, with the handwritten name Ollie Fischer on the side. It was posted on 28 July 1908 in Sewickley, Pennsylvania, addressed to a Miss Ollie Fischer, Amaranth, Fulton Co., Penn and reads as follows: My own Dear Little Sister. I will send you a Postal for your Little Birthday which is the 28. . I hope everybody is well at home. I am well at present and tell Amber I will write soon. Tell Gilbert to write how is you three Little Sisters of mine getting along [these?] nice days. Ollie can’t you and Jessie write Rachel a letter, try tell [Moris/Moses?] I got a letter from Mike he is well. I am going out to see him...
