[To] Miss Myrtle Wooster North Liberty, Indiana RR No. 1

Dear girl I arieft [arrived] home all save and sound. look out or in the water you will go a swimming. Hope that you are keeping well. Don't stay out all night when Charlie comes to see you. From yours truly, LSR.
I suspect she is not married and still Myrtle Alexander (the card says "Miss") but that the sender thought she was a Worster/Woorter (or perhaps she was formally adopted) and just mispelled it.
I wonder if Myrtle Alexander (previous card) married a cousin... Another set of mystery initials... LSR... hmmm... and Charlie...
ReplyDeleteYes, and Wooster instead of Worster. Puzzling.

ReplyDeleteMyrtle's "step-father's" first wife's last name was Rupert. I think LSR might be another "step-cousin".
