Miss Alla Hood was living in Flushing, the very busy district of Queens on New York’s Long Island.

(I have accumulated several postcards and some genealogical information related to the Hood family – Alla C. Hood won a freshman examination award at Wellesley College in 1927 and was a Senior Case Worker for the New York State Charities Aid Association during the 1940’s.

Alla wrote for the Alumni magazine at Wellesley, and she testified in a long and rule-setting court case in New York about a private adoption in 1945.)

In August of 1935, Miss Hood received a postcard photograph from Margaret Jeffords.

This would be a few years after Alla would have graduated from college -I suppose that Margaret is a college chum.

Margaret mailed the postcard from Yellowstone Park in Wyoming.

The face of the postcard is a photograph of a Grizzly Bear family – a mother and four cubs.

The image was copyrighted by Haynes Picture Shops of St. Paul, Minnesota, in 1927.

This postcard, printed in the new “linen-style”, was manufactured a few years later by Curt Teich of Chicago.

On the reverse, we learn that Margaret and Alla are musically-inclined.

Margaret reports, “I’ve been playing duets with most of my cousins out here…”

She adds, “We must get together when I return to Jamaica and go over my old duet books again.”

“Jamaica”, I assume, refers to the busy transit hub on Long Island – about 7 miles south of Flushing.

It is not clear if Margaret and her cousins, and Alla, are skilled on the piano or on some other instruments.

Margaret shares her tentative plans, “Will probably be home in a couple of weeks”.

One hopes that Margaret enjoyed the wildlife of Wyoming, that she returned safely to Jamaica, and that Alla and Margaret astounded their friends and neighbors with their musical proficiency.
