Master Paul Hays lived in Williamson, an unincorporated community of Franklin County in south-central Pennsylvania.

The settlement is southwest of Chambersburg, nor far from the border of Maryland.

In a year near 1910, Paul received a Thanksgiving postcard from his Aunt Mary.

The postcard was not mailed, suggesting that Aunt Mary enclosed the postcard in an envelope or presented it in person or through an intermediary.

Aunt Mary’s message implies that she was some distance from Paul.

The face of the postcard is a charming drawing of a girl and a boy carrying a large wicker basket in which a turkey is sitting proudly.

Around the fowl are fruits and berries, as though the turkey is already prepared for serving.

The girl wears a pink dress trimmed with lace, she wears a dainty pair of shoes and she has disposed of her bonnet.

The boy wears a jacket and short pants or knickers; his lower legs are encased in fine white stockings.

The boy has a bow of dark material at the neck of his collared shirt.

The children follow a path, beside which are sheaves of wheat, a colored leaf, and a pumpkin.

Behind them is a red apple, which appears to have fallen from the very full basket.

On the reverse, Aunt Mary greets “Dear Paul”.

After asking “how are you all getting along”, Aunt Mary refers to a recent illness of Paul’s – “Hope you are all over the yellow jaundice by this time”.

“Yellow jaundice” – named for the yellow tint of the skin and eyes – sometimes occurs in newborns due to an immature liver, and sometimes in children as a result of infections.

(In adults, the appearance of jaundice can indicate serious issues with the liver or other organs)

On a happier note, Aunt Mary adds, “You ought to be here to see the big stores.”

Aunt Mary assures Paul that “they are great” and “will make your eyes dance”.

In closing, Aunt Mary sends love to all, and adds that her message is sent lovingly to Paul.

One hopes that Paul had recovered his health, that he was glad to receive the greeting from Aunt Mary, and that all enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving.
