Do you think this could have been an April fools from 1907? If this is an April Fools Day joke, it is fun to think that “Betts” still has us going a hundred and ten years after penning her prank.

A note about transcribing postcards:

A cursive key for transcribing postcards

When I find and transcribe these quick notes from history I make a point to try and be accurate, including leaving spelling errors and punctuation in place. But there are times when I have to sit with a card and read it quite a few times to figure out what they are trying to say. There are other times when I am forced to give up because I can’t make heads or tails of a word. So please, if you see something that could be corrected please feel free to let me know in the comments, I appreciate the help.
