Letter: One page, one side

Paper: Lined paper, 5” wide by 8” high

Envelope: 6” wide by 3-1/2” high addressed to Lizzie Golden, Dennison Mich

The front is postmarked Dennison, Mich. Jan 2, 1892

This is not postmark on the back.  It looks lie there was a stamp in the upper left corner of the letter but most of it has been torn off.  My guess is that it was a 1 cent stamp.  This letter was sent from Dennison to Dennison, therefore it would have only required a 1 cent stamp.  It also looks like the stamp was placed over the following printed words:

“After 10 day return to BOX xxxx  Dennison, Mich,

Dennison, Mich. Jan 2, 1892

 

Dear Lizzie,

 

John will have told you that I came out here.  Lizzie McG. asked me to drive home with them and I promised John that I would come over before train time.  The wind blew so terribly and the roads were so awful that I did not like to ask them to take their team out.  I am awfully sorry that I could not see you, as I expected to.

 

Please excuse scribbling.  It is written at a disadvantage, and it is almost train time.

 

Love to all

F. Gertrude Keller
