Dear May

Posted by Dee's Postcards on

"Dear May,

I hope you are having a Merry Christmas and New Year.

Yours Fred"

 

I never used to, but these days I try to slow down enough to read all the messages on these old cards before I list them. And I must say since I've begun doing this I've become a little more curious of who in the heck were these crazy characters at the turn of the 20th century.

Take Fred here, sending a photo of burnt out building destroyed by fire to May, and wishing her Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.  Fred either had a bit too much of the sauce that evening in deciding to send this particular festive postcard with a lovely warm greeting, or May is just one really cool lady.  :)   And then there's everything in between.   

Whatever the deal is with those two, Fred sent a pretty unique card.  It's a George Barrowclough RPPC that I haven't seen before, and from what I gathered from research, I'm pretty sure it's of the Bulman Block Fire of 1904 in Winnipeg. It was sent from Portage La Prairie, mostly likely Fred's hometown.
