Postcard #3

Description

Dear sister - I received your card and was expecting a letter to follow but I didn’t receive any. You dont write to me, and neither does Vartoug. You know how difficult my situation is… looking forward to Vartoug’s letter. I also don’t have any news about the house.

Note

Miss H. Elmayan appears to be Hripsime Elmayan, who arrived in New York on October 22, 1910, aboard the ship Columbia. Her name was recorded as Horopig Elmayan during her arrival, which is likely a transliteration variation. Hripsime seems to have a sister named Vartouhi Elmayan, also referred to as Vartoug in the “Gedigian Family and WAY beyond” family tree on Ancestry. The date 1911, noted under the word “CARTE,” and the Turkish stamp issued in 1909, align with the timeline of Hripsime’s arrival and could provide further historical context to documents associated with her.
