Words by hand catalogs and preserves the handwritten word, from today and yesterday. Handwriting is disappearing and this is one way to keep it visible for all of us to enjoy.
Postcard to Ed Bakis at Sterling College in Kansas, postmarked 1958
I bought this postcard at a flea market. I live about 30 minutes from the town of Sterling, Kansas, and this was addressed to Ed Bakis at the college there and postmarked in 1958.
I didn't recognize the language and put a bit of it into an online translator. Apparently it is Estonian. I bought another card at the same time also addressed to Ed Bakis, and also written in the same language.
The story remains a mystery to me, but I'm glad to have this little bit of handwriting preserved here.
