Addressed to Anna Louise Schmidt of Mt Vernon, Illinois, this postcard came from her cousin Arthur. The postmark is unreadable, but it appears to be early 1900s. I have a feeling that cousin Arthur was a bit of a handful based on his message.
If I could come over I would roll you under the or grease your nose. How old are you(?)
Your Cousin Arthur
Not sure what he was going to roll her under, but I bet she wasn’t looking forward to a visit from Cousin Arthur!
