Believe it or not, there was a time when it was against postal regulations to write anything on the back of a postcard, except the address. Not wishing to be so limited, people wrote their messages all over the front. I'm not sure how easy it will be to read this, even if you click on the image and bring it up in a bigger window. In a more things change the more things stay the same, the sender of this card is complaining about being tired after going to the gym. I doubt it was a spin class.
Addressed to "Miss Mae E. McGovern, Lowville, Lewis Co., New York" Postmark, "NEW PALTZ, OCT 26. 7 AM, 1905, N.Y."
