Summary

[edit]
Description

Post card of Revere Beach from 1909 with some elemental damage but the correspondence on this one is part of the reason why I wanted to share it. Was postmarked from "Roxbury Station" in Boston at 8pm on September 14th, 1909.

Handwriting is hard to decipher but the message on the card is very morbid.

Addressed to: "Mrs. Sarah Rose, 9 Eastern Avenue, Revere, Mass"

Correspondence is: "Dear Sarah I just-came from the homeopathic hospital and [???] Elvin(sic) my brother's oldest-boy very low not-expected to live but-a few hours. He is 14 years old. Hoping you + yours are well.

Maggio(sic) in haste."
