Abstract:
Postcard featuring a photograph of a young dark-haired nurse receiving a letter from an even younger looking female letter carrier. The nurse is wearing a white cap and apron and is resting against a piece of furniture. She is looking down at the letter being passed to her by the other girl. The letter carrier, wearing dark clothes and cap and a large bag over her shoulder, is standing next to the nurse, her right hand outstretched as she is handing the letter to her.
