A woman from Michigan, USA came to her mailbox and wanted to check the bill and clean up the spam. But I didn't expect a postcard was lying quietly in the mailbox. After a closer look at the date of the letter, it turned out that this postcard was sent nearly 100 years ago.
At the beginning, Keech did not pay much attention to this postcard. She just felt a little strange: Who would send postcards in this era?
But soon after, she noticed that the postcard had a postmark date October 29, 1920. The postcard was indeed sent to her address, but the recipient was a Roy McQueen person whose name had faded a little.
Postcard reads:
Dear cousins:
Hope you can receive this letter. We were all good, but mom’s knees weren’t very good. The weather here is very cold. I just finished my history class and was about to go to bed. My dad is shaving and my mom is telling me your address. ...
The person who sent the message was named Flossie Burgess. The theme of the postcard is Halloween theme, with a little black cat holding a broom, a bat, a Canadian goose, an owl, an old lady with a crutch, and a pumpkin lantern with a witch hat.
A one-cent stamp from George Washington was posted on the postcard, and the letter was sent from Jamestown, and the state was posted.
No one knows why this postcard was 100 years late before it was sent to the address it should be delivered. Keech is 30 years old this year and she was not born when the postcard was sent. A spokesperson for the postal service said that such incidents do not mean that the email system will lose letters. Sometimes, such letters suddenly appear because someone bought the letter at a flea market or antique store, and accidentally entered the postal system and was delivered.
