"Dear Son... We hope you are being a good boy..."

The postcard was postmarked in May of 1948 in Raleigh, Wake County, North Carolina, and sent to the town newspaper (Buckhannon Record) in Buckhannon, Upshur County, West Virginia.
PLEASE review the scans closely and then buy confidently.

For the buyer, I'll send your postcard free of charge with standard shipping within the United States. If you want certified mail services (includes tracking), however, you can add $3.00 to your purchase and then I'll be happy to arrange that for you-- just please send me a message and alert me to your wish for this arrangement.

I collect, trade, and sell postcards because it's interesting and fun. If I'm selling a postcard that you'd like to own but you perceive that my asking price is just too high for your taste or budget, then make an offer or contact me and let's see if we can make a deal. I like it best when everybody gets what they want  :)


Thanks for considering this keepsake.
