Master Sherman Linton was a boy in Rockville, a city developed at the meeting of rivers and creeks near Washington, DC.

We know that Sherman is a boy, as he is addressed with the honorific title of “Master”.
In November of 1922, Sherman received a postcard from “Miss Charlton”.
The postcard was mailed from Hancock, a town in northwestern Maryland near the borders of Pennsylvania and West Virginia.

Initially, I thought that Miss Charlton might be a school-teacher or Sunday School teacher, but the distance between the towns makes that implausible.
Hancock is about 80 miles northwest of Rockville.
The face of the postcard bears a drawing of a group of turkeys on a wintry landscape.
The drawing of turkeys is balanced by the image of a girl wearing a fur hat and stole, and clutching a fur muff.
A printed legend reads: “Cordial Thanksgiving Greetings”.
It seems that young Master Linton was pleased by the postcard as it was preserved in good condition for more than a century.
One hopes that he and Miss Charlton enjoyed a delightful Thanksgiving.
