In April of 1923, Mother was visiting New York City.
She sent a postcard to her daughter, Miss Genevieve Jones, in Depauville, New York.
(Depauville is a small village on the St. Lawrence River in north central New York State.)
Mother writes, “we took a trip out into the harbor”.
The postcard is illustrated by a hand-colored photograph of the New York City harbor.
“This is what we saw”, Mother notes.
The postcard may have been printed a year or two earlier than the postmark.
The view from New York harbor continues to delight and astonish.
When entertaining visitors to the city, I always took them on a circuit of the Staten Island Ferry in order to experience the awesome sight of the great city looming above the waters on its foundation of Manhattan schist.
