Greetings from "The Amish Country". Young Amish people out for a Sunday ride with their traditional horse and buggy. Card also shows village sign for Intercourse.
Pennsylvania Dutch Country. One of the many unique water wheels that can be seen in the Amish Country. These primitive devices provide a continuous source of power to pump water on the farm and to the house.
Amish Barn Raising. These people join in and help their neighbors without pay to construct new barns when needed. They start in the morning and by evening the building is completed.
I don't want to do you out of a chance to see Dottie. If you don't get together ask her to come down while I'm at your place or we can go up. Such a short time - I'd rather stay in New Haven. If I don't hear from you Friday will you send card and give me any idea as to when your things will come, please. Love to all, Home"
