Postcard back, Camp Radford, San Bernardino Mountains, California, 1919

 

08/02/1919

 

 

This card back is filled up with writing, a special cancellation, intact postage stamp, and postmark. The handwritten message is in cursive using pencil, starting with the place name at the top left, then date, then the greeting in the left panel and proceeding down the card until there is no more room, then up the dividing line perpendicular to the rest of the message. The writing is smudged in some places and often barely legible.
