June 13, 1916 - Autoing all P.M.

Here are two postcards that Joe sent Helen and her sister Florrie from a business trip to Gettysburg, PA

This marks the scene of Lincoln's address.
Great times.

The next letter is June 27.

July 28, 1914 - My heart was in my mouth . . .

Here is the last postcard from Joe's business trip in July 1914. I love the old postcards and  quick notes that he shared along the way.

Have just come up this machine. My heart was in my mouth near the top when the car gradually stopped.
Joe.

The Duquesne Incline Pittsburgh has been refurbished and is still in operation. Really nice to see landmarks preserved.
Here are a couple of  images that show how it looks today. One from the top and one from the bottom like Joe's postcard.

In August I will be posting newspaper articles, a letter Joe sent a good friend on August 21 and photographs of Helen and her family on vacation.
