Miss Helen Baldwin lived in East Shoreham, a town on the shore of Lake Champlain, in western Vermont.

In late December of 1920, Helen received a postcard from Edith, who sent her love for the New Year.
The postcard was mailed from Bristol, a town to the east of Shoreham, in the foothills of the Green Mountains.

The face of the postcard is a medallion drawing of a church spire in the golden light of a winter sunset.
Beneath the illustration is an inscription:
“Greetings and Best Wishes for a Happy New Year”.
On the reverse, Edith repeats the New Year wishes and adds a message about photographs that she recently had had made.
Edith asks Helen to “tell Aunty that I wanted to send her one of my pictures but I only had half a dozen…”
One hopes that Aunty was understanding of the absence of a photograph and that the friends enjoyed a prosperous 1921.
