With Love’s Greeting….

“I have to join two hearts in one,

And wish this tender task were done.”

This looks to be from artist Ellen H. Clapsaddle, though it is unsigned. Cupid would be the unseen onlooker of this scene. This is another in the Alice Ellison Collection and the sender wrote:

“Dear little Geo. We would shure love to see you. How are you all. why don’t your Mother write. Am sending this to grandma as dont know where else to find you. lots of love. Aunt Mae.”

Addressed to:   “Geo. Mugridge Jr., 1730 J St., Sacramento, Calif.”
