About this postcard

Nutting's-On-The-Charles sits beside the Charles River in Waltham, Massachusetts, a large yellow building behind a stone retaining wall and flower beds. A horse-drawn carriage waits on the road, and a red brick factory with a tall smokestack rises in the background. The scene shows the Charles River corridor as both a riverside outing spot and a working industrial landscape; Waltham was then known for watchmaking and mills. Jesse's note on the card reports a safe arrival and a stay in Waltham until Sunday, and asks whether Walter can meet in Suncook.
