About this postcard

Sand dunes at Ipswich Beach, shown as soft ridges with sparse beach grass on the crests and a lower dune line in the middle distance. The sky is pale blue with clouds and a pink glow near the horizon, suggesting late-day light over the shore. Ipswich Beach sits on the North Shore of Massachusetts, a summer resort area known for its barrier beach and dunes. The sender's note is a casual summer dispatch: he is trading something for nine of something else, remarks that the high cost of clothes is not a worry there, and reports that he and Betty are using the tennis courts not far away. The card went to Reginald Coggeshall at the New York Herald-Tribune's Paris office, addressed in care of the Rue du Louvre.
