Postcard mentioning divorce
Washington, DC: s.i., 1906. Very Good. Item #48483
Washington, DC: 1906. Picture postcard (9x12.5cm). Illustration shows DC’s historic Soldiers Home, where the authors of the note have written in black ink “Going to get divorce on my return, don’t like married life. / [NDC?] Jr.” and “Me either! / Edna.” Verso shows recipient address (Richmond, VA) and typical postal markings in black ink. Original postage stamp has been removed. Lightly toned and bumped; bottom corner creased. Nevertheless Very Good.
Is this a genuine confession of marital woe? Or a sarcastic stunt, sent from a weekend getaway? Better yet, was the couple on their honeymoon when they put this postcard in the mail?
