This postcard depicts the W.B. Chisolm Residence in Charleston, South Carolina, renovated with a design by G.L. Norrman (or so say I) circa 1893.
The card was hand-colored and published by Lanneau’s Art Store in Charleston, and postmarked in Charleston on May 18, 1946.
Addressed to Mrs. A. Joceyln of 23 Essex Street, Holyoke, Mass., the card’s message is written by Edith and Brenda:
Edith: “Hi [Harmony?] Jocelyn – We are here and loving every moment 2 our stay. We are doing our best + live as you showed me the way + are perfectly happy I feel fine. We are gaining weight, + tanning well. Love, Edith.”
Brenda: “She is really gaining weight. She is now down (?) to 126 lbs. Brenda”
Edith: “gaining from 119 to 126!”
