And who was sending this flirtatious postcard to Herman Harms? For once, it wasn't Minnie Rossow.



Those aren't her initials, and that's not her handwriting. Even when she disguises her handwriting, it looks nothing like that. And she doesn't include "Lake Co." in addressing her cards.

Herman and Minnie weren't really going steady yet, so he was free to receive all the flirtatious postcards he liked. What puzzles me is why Minnie kept this one. Perhaps she knew the sender, too, and knew it was all just playfulness. How I wish his admirer had signed her full name!
