Miss Verdna Keperling lived on a rural delivery route outside the historic city of Lancaster, PA.

In September of 1912, Verdna received a lovely art postcard.

The postcard was mailed from Safe Harbor, a community on the Susquehanna River in southern Lancaster County of southeast Pennsylvania..

The signature of the sender is distorted by the abraded corner of the postcard – I believe it is Ada Brenner.

The face of the greeting shows a maiden, dwarfed by enormous trees, strolling along a wooded path.

Clad in a long white dress, and wearing an elaborate hat, the young woman creates an elegant appearance.

Although there are bright flowers in the foreground of the scene, most of the wooded area is muted in color – although many details can be seen.

The lack of background color does focus one’s attention on the woman in white.

I cannot find a printer’s mark, but the postcard art was “Printed in Germany”.

On the reverse, Ada complains, “I am sick and tired” of the “rainy weather”.

Some of the displeasure may be due to the fact that “we are not done yet with our tobacco”.

Harvesting and drying tobacco was a labor-intensive process -and the rain would have posed difficulties for the harvest.

In other news, Ada reports that she is “coming into Lancaster of Saturday” and “would like if you could come in too.”

The friends could avail themselves of the extensive trolley system that then connected many towns and communities in Lancaster County.

Ada hopes “to have a good old talk with you”.

One hopes that the rain relented enough to permit the tobacco harvest, that Verdna was able to meet Ada in Lancaster, and that the friends enjoyed their opportunity to “catch up” with one another.
