National Postcard Week: "Shocking" Messages

National Postcard Week continues! Sometimes the message on the back of the postcard is just as interesting as the image on the front! The author of this message on a postcard, sent from Ray Brook Sanatorium in 1908, probably never imagined that her "shocking" message would be preserved in our collection. But we agree, the photograph of the Sanatorium does look good [see front left corner]!
