Yosemite postcard, postmarked Dec 29 1908. The postcard was printed in Germany, sent to my Grandmother in Arcata, from a friend in Oakland.
Many of the older postcards in our collection, the ones from 1908 and 1909, are photographs of buildings and landmarks. During these years my grandmother was in Arcata with her mother. The address on the postcards have just her name and “Arcata Wharf, Arcata, California.” My grandmother would have been 12 and 13 years old during those years.
This postcard sent to my grandmother from a little girlfriend in Korbel is postmarked Sept 21, 1908. I don’t quite understand the message.
