Empty envelope addressed to Mr. E.J. Eckel of St. Joseph, Missouri at the Corby-Forsee Building, dated December 12, 1911.
The envelope has a printed message:
“After 5 days return to
The German-American National Bank,
St. Joseph, MO.”
Architectural dimensions have been drawn on the envelope in pencil, and a very faded message can be seen on the left side of the envelope. Perhaps it faded with time, or another letter was written on top of it? All that can be made out is "... black enamelled steel ..."Context
