Arrival

This is the postcard Guy sent to Ange on April 5, 1934. The stamp is another lovely etched image depicting "Chicago Century of progress." It has FORT DEARBORN as the centerpiece, as well as written in the lower middle of the stamp, while the upper left edge has the date of 1839, then in the middle, within a stylized ribbon "U.S. Postage," and then again the date 1933---It's total cost... 1 cent.

Dear Ange,

arrived here Sunday about 3' o'clock.

write later.

Love

Guy

(this is written in green colored pencil) Perhaps, all he could find at the time. It is very unlike him, as he always seems so put-together or orderly, there is sense of urgency, an "air of hurry" about this post card.
