Mrs. Wiley lived in Reading, the old town of Middlesex County – 16 miles north of Boston, Massachusetts.

It appears that Mrs. Wiley may have been a teacher, or otherwise connected to a school.

In June of 1908, Mrs. Wiley received a postcard from A. W. N. who was in Paris.

The face of the postcard is an uncolored photograph of L’Arc de Triomphe.

This colossal structure, built in the style of the Roman Emperors, stands within a circle from which 12 Avenues radiate.

Originally ordered by Napoleon Bonaparte in 1806, the construction was interrupted by the political upheavals of the Napoleonic Era and not completed until 1836.

It now honors all the combatants who fought for France in all of her wars.

The postcard was printed in France, although I cannot find a clue to the publisher.

On the reverse, the traveler tells Mrs. Wiley that the “wandering members of the Literature Class” are “well and enjoying ourselves”.

I assume that these are students of a private school or college; there were two dozen in eastern Massachusetts before 1900.

The student travelers “shall be in London” by the end of this week.

The message concludes with a wish for Mrs. Wiley’s good health.

One hopes that the travelers were inspired with a renewed love of literature by their sojourn in Paris and London, and that they shared their tales with Mrs. Wiley upon their safe return.
