"Dear Rae"

Dublin Core

Title

Description

This artifact is a postcard sent from Dr. Peggy to Ms. Rae telling her about her vacation to World of Fun. This postcard is clearly very old due to the discoloration, and can be inferred that it was written by a good friend or loved one to someone she cares about due to the word choice such as "love" in the goodbye.
The submitter provided the following about the artifacts history: I bought this postcard along with others on eBay because I wanted to provide the FSU Card Archive with a wider selection of postcards (in particular I was looking for Disney postcards). I was granted permission from the Archive to share my collection with the Museum.
