From our postcard collection comes this missive from Lawrence to his beloved, Fran, with love to his "two little sweethearts," circa 1907. This postcard predates the "divided" era, when postal regulations did not allow writing on the same side as the address, thus the small photo with much white space. This photo is reminiscent of the one below, which was featured in my book.
How long (or is the time already here) before our grandchildren and great grandchildren will be unable to read this secretly coded Palmer style penmanship Lawrence used to communicate with Fran ... using a one cent stamp?
