Miss Rose Naggy lived in Milford, a village on the Delaware River in Hunterdon County of northwest New Jersey.

NOTE: Without more information, it is difficult to learn more about Rose.
There was a Rose Naggy, born to Steven and Bertha Naggy, of Essex County in 1921.
If this is our Rose, she is now 24 years old and living about 60 miles from where she was born.
However, there is a women named Rose Nagy – born in Hunterdon County in 1924.
That Rose would be 21 years old at the time the postcard was received.
There are two other women named “Rose Nagy” who were born in northern New Jersey, but these are names of married women (one a waitress, one a stenographer) and our postcard is addressed to “Miss Rose Naggy”.
In July of 1945, Rose received a comic postcard from her friend, Lois.
Lois posted the greeting from Walden, a charming village on the Walkill River in southern New York State – about eleven miles northwest of the town of Newburgh on the Hudson River.

The village of Walden is not the town of Walton – which we seen in other postcard stories.
(Walton is on the Delaware River in Delaware County, NY.)
The face of the postcard is a drawing of a dog being drenched in the watery blast from an open hydrant.
The printed legend, “Getting Even”, alludes to the traditional marking of fire hydrants by passing dogs.
On the reverse, Lois greets Rose with the casual, “Hi Kid”.
Lois reports that she is “having a swell time up here”.
This afternoon, Lois “may go swimming”.
Lois plans to return on Saturday; she is taking a steam boat (down the Hudson River) from Newburgh to New York City.
The boat ride seems to be a highlight of the trip – and Lois remarks to Rose, “you would like it I bet”.
One hopes that Rose was amused by the comic postcard, that Lois continued to enjoy her time in Walton, and that the Hudson River excursion was thrilling.
