About this postcard

An Easter greeting with white lilies and a cross above a blue banner that reads "Christ is risen, Christ is risen, O'er the universe to reign." The printed blessing "Easter Happiness" sits below. The sender writes to a friend in Malden, Massachusetts, glad to hear she is better after a winter of sickness, and reports a big snowstorm the previous Sabbath followed by bright weather and roads that will be fine for travel. The floral and hymn imagery follows the devotional style of Easter postcards of the period.

So glad to hear you are better. You certainly had your share of sickness this winter. We had a big snow storm yesterday (Sabbath) but it is bright to-day and the roads will be just fine with love M.H.A.
