It is postmarked: Brockton, Mass. - January 1, 1909 at 7:45 p.m.
The message:
I hope you had a pleasant Christmas and are all well and happy. Love and best wishes for the new year.
Rose
will write to you soon
Did Rose choose a New Year's card with a pink rose because of her name I wonder? It's funny, I hadn't put the two together until I began typing this post. :-)
Something I noticed while going through the postcards surprised me. I saw many postcards postmarked December 25 and January 1. The thought of the post office being open on a holiday never occurred to me. I remember one in particular that was postmarked Christmas Day at 5:00 a.m.
The destination of this holiday postcard is 1.5 miles from the residence of this infamous Fall River resident.
