Miss Josephine Palmer lived in Buckingham, an unincorporated community in Buckingham Township of Bucks County, PA.

This small community near the Delaware River in southeast Pennsylvania, was an early settlement of English Quakers.

Buckingham, although small, has had a Post Office since 1802.

On December 30, 1907, Josephine received a New Year postcard.

The postcard was mailed from Jenkintown, a borough of Montgomery County – about ten miles due north of center city Philadelphia.

Buckingham is almost 17 miles northeast of Jenkintown.

The face of the postcard displays a drawing of a wintry church tower, surrounded by a wide frame of marbled paper.

A sprig of pink flowers adorns the bottom right corner of the frame, and a greeting is printed beside the blossoms:

“With best New Year Wishes”

The pink blossoms are finely-drawn and are embossed.

On the reverse, the writer is identified with the initials, “E. P. F.”

Josephine is greeted as “Dear Aunt”, so we know that EPF is a niece.

(The middle initial “P” of the sender might represent “Palmer”.)

The message includes the news that “we are all well” and that “Anna is going to work this morning”.

We do not know the significance of Anna’s going to work – perhaps she had been ill or had been looking for an employment opportunity.

Aunt Josephine preserved the postcard throughout her life.

One hopes that these relatives enjoyed a merry New Year and that they maintained a postcard correspondence for many years.
