This vintage postcard-- published by American Postcard-- shows a man and woman in a romantic exchange.
On the right side, the postcard offers verse by English poet Robert Herrick (1591-1974) from his poem, "To Anthea, Who May Command Him Anything".
On the backside, M.A.F. writes in pen, "Kate my brother in law J. Felix is in the hospital he was burned in works."
The postcard was postmarked in November of 1909 in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, and sent to South Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
For a domestic mailing, I'll send your postcard free of charge with standard first class shipping within the United States. In the effort to keep our costs down, I tend to trust our postal service and it works out great "99.9%" of the time. Moreover, in my experience "postcard enthusiasts" are a great community of people who are collaborative and don't take advantage of each other; therefore, I typically do not feel the need to drive up your costs so that I can later prove successful delivery-- I trust you. However, if you want to purchase certified mail services (includes tracking), then please send me a message so that we can make arrangements.
