August 10, 1916 - My old Alma Mater

Here are two postcards that Joe wrote to Helen and her 16 year old sister Lillie while they were away from New York City at camp.

My old Alma Mater. I actually went inside to breath some of the familiar air that seems to permeate there.

If the former owner of this house heard you sing "dang-a-roos" and "persperswitzed" he'd have destroyed his great work.
J.G.S.

This postcard is of the house of Noah Webster.
As you can see he was teasing the teenage Lillie.

The next letter is on August 17.
