Back of picture postcard of boating at Corona del Mar

 

07/11/1913

 

 

This postcard is unusual in its length, giving over 7 inches on which to write a message. The message on this postcard, sent in 1913, takes full advantage of the space. Apparently the double-wide card also took double postage, since there is a two-cent stamp on the card. A single-width card cost only one cent at this time.

Dear Sis-
This is a fine place. Nice & quiet. Got your letter & should have written you sooner. Think there will be room for you if want to come down Monday. Dot would like to have you. Would have liked to have had you if we had gone to the mountains only she is like her mother. Always worrying about one thing or another. She was afraid it would crowd Allingtons too much or that there would not be room enough. Allingtons are queer but all right I guess. I asked them if they would like you to come for a week only and they said they were perfectly willing but did not urge very strong so I thought maybe they had intended you to be general houskeeper [sic] and when they found they would have to do the work for a week they didn't care so much. But you come along anyway if you want to and be our guest for a week. Expenses are not heavy and if they don't want to stand half I will take care of it. Take Newport car on even hour. Fare 7 days 75¢. 10 days $1.00 round trip from L.A. I will pay your fare.
Lovingly Bro
