Kathleen's sister - Aunt Ruthie - visited their brother Cecil Farmer in Pittsburgh, and sent a postcard to each of her four nephews and nieces. And then she sent an extra one - this one - to five-year-old Billy. Apparently he knew why he deserved an extra postcard, but I don't.
This is the last of this group of five postcards to the four little Stokeys that I uploaded. For all the others, as I uploaded the images, I thought, "That's nice. That's nice. That's nice. That's nice." But when I uploaded this one, I thought, "Ooh, I like it!"

Dearest Billie:~
I could not send the cards yesterday so I bought the biggest street car I could find for you today. Did you ever see one like this before. I would like to see you.
Love from
Aunt Ruthie

This is one of five postcards that Ruth sent to the four little Stokeys all at once when she was visiting her and Kathleen’s brother Cecil Farmer. Apparently she wrote four of them out on September 6 but couldn’t mail them out until the 7th, and for some reason that impelled to her to write an extra one to Billy on the 7th. Maybe she had made him a promise of some sort? And since Roger was only 19 months old, his postcard was addressed to Kathleen, with a note that once Kathleen had read it, it was to go to Roger.
