I believe that this postcard was exchanged between friends and cousins who were also Friends -members of the Quaker fellowship.
Helen Kirk was living near Peters Creek at the time of her birthday in one of the years near 1905.
Peters Creek is a stream that empties into the lower Susquehanna River near Peach Bottom, a few miles north of the Chesapeake Bay..
There was once a town of “Peters Creek”, and the USPS operated a post office there from 1853 until 1913.
A series of dams (for hydro-electric plants) on the lower Susquehanna has changed the original water courses and the locations of some towns.
For her birthday, Helen received a postcard from her cousin, Jennie Brown.
I believe that Jennie and Helen were members of the Society of Friends, as Jennie signs the postcard. “thy cousin”.
The face of the card contains a verse celebrating “little acts of kindness” that contribute to “the sum of happiness below”.
