Handwritten note on front reads, "Doesn't this look good?" Handwritten message on reverse reads, "Dear C., Mr. Droege said he would ship coat immediately and that he thought you would receive it all right and that it will suit you and just think a man [underlined] has worn it and he burned the hole that I told you about and that is next best thing to having a man isn't it. Isn't it shocking to write such things on a postal. Nellie." Mailed to Miss C. A. Congdon [Clara], Wallingford, Vermont, Box 238.Subject Person/Organization
