Image ID: WPC 02:105
Front:
Color image of the entrance to Laurel Park. In between two diverging paths is a gate with a sign over it reading "Laurel Park." A bench sits in front of the gate and batches of flowers surround the gate and are sporadically placed throughout the image. A green house with a front porch stands behind the gate. A thick layer of tall trees begins behind the house. Another building can be partially seen in the background past the trees.
Message on back reads: "Came down to Washington last week with Jorette's Aunt Lucy + staying here until Thursday--then back to Amherst & Laurel Park. The Christening party was lovely. Am having a mervelpis vacation. This is where Pera [?] has cottage--other side of card. Beautiful here--I hate to leave it! Love from, Edna [illegible]."
Back is addressed to: "Ms. Sidney McCleary, / Brook St., / Maynard, Mass."
Date is taken from postmark.
