Want to write me a nice little letter, and tell me all about your fun in Key West? I miss you all so much. I also miss that grand church, St. Paul’s. I expect you go to Sunday School. We are having warmer weather today, thanks be! I am on our deck writing and gathering a new crop of freckles. The Gulf is very calm. Love to all, Evelyn Ware.’ The card is addressed to Miss Dolores “Darling”, c/o Miss Jennie Seymour, 519 Elizabeth Street, Key West, Florida, and is postmarked Fort Myers, Florida, March 5, 1942.Collection
