Glad to Get There

On our way home from Lincoln and very glad to get there.

Mr. Burr R. Ruth, Date Unclear (I suspect early 1900’s)

“Dear Burr,

On our way home from Lincoln and very glad to get there.

M. K.”

I have to wonder wha happened in Lincoln that made M.K. drop a line to Burr. Was it a vacation gone awry? A work trip? Or perhaps just a longer journey. M.K. needed a vacation from the vacation.

South Omaha High School. Omaha, Nebraska

Personally, I think the front of this card is quite beautiful. I love the colors and the detail on the architecture. However, it’s strange (to the modern eye) to send a postcard of a high school. I suppose it’s no different than sending one of a college now days.
