We met Mrs. Eli Hess in an earlier postcard story.
Mrs. Hess lived in the rural borough of New Holland, in Lancaster County of southeast Pennsylvania.

On December 15, 1908, Mrs. Eli Hess received an embossed Christmas postcard from her friend, Jane.
The face of the postcard is a bight illustration of gold bells amid branches of holly.
Jane mailed the postcard from Brooklyn, New York.

On the face of the postcard, Jane writes that she intends to visit, if she can do so.
The wording is a bit awkward; perhaps Jane was unschooled or not a native speaker of English.
“Be to see you sometime if I can”
One hopes that Jane and Mrs. Hess enjoyed a wonderful Christmas in 1908, and that Jane was able to pay a visit in the New Year of 1909.
