This potcard was mailed on June 6, 1939 with the following message:
Dear Anne:
My birthday is June 16. You can make me happy by writing me a line. Please. The Fair is getting ready for the Royal Couple. So far the Fair is wonderful and even if you don't see it, you will hear plenty about it.
King George and Queen Elizabeth visited the 1939 New York World's Fair on June 10. Read more about their visit here.

Do you know that I had completely forgotten that this year was the 75th anniversary of 1939 (and thus the start of the Second World War) with all the focus of attention being on the centenary of World War 1.
ReplyDeleteIt breaks my heart to read some of these plaintive wishes on postcards for people to keep in touch.
