Although the face of the postcard shows a scene of courtship, I believe that this postcard was exchanged between friends, perhaps schoolmates.
The postcard is addressed to Miss Rachel Inkrote of Windsor, PA.
Windsor is a borough, formerly named Windsorville, in central York County, PA.
The borough has hosted an annual festival of steam engines and equipment for about a hundred years.

The face of the postcard is an illustration of a young man shyly holding a bouquet of blossoms.
A poised young woman is seated in a wicker chair; her lap is already full of blossoms.
We don’t know if the young man is only the latest in a stream of admirers bearing blossoms, or if the young woman had gathered them herself.
Above the scene, a verse is inscribed in red: “I wish I had the right to bring, To you each day some lovely thing”.
The “right”, I presume, is an acknowledged relationship in which tokens of love and affection are appropriate.
On the reverse, a breezy note is written in red ink -for which the writer apologizes (“Excuse ink”).
The writer, Rosa, addresses Rachel as “Dear Friend” and makes a reference to an event on the previous Saturday night.
Because the postcard was mailed from Windsor, I believe the correspondents were neighbors and possible schoolmates.
One hopes that Rachel was pleased by the postcard and that the friends enjoyed many years of correspondence.
