I wonder who mailed this sweet yet message-less card to Miss Elsie Mangels, who apparently resided at 447 East 121st Street in February 1910?
Her residence looks like it no longer exists; a housing development and some empty lots occupy that address today.
The card comes from the New York Public Library’s digital collection—a treasure of old ephemera, including vintage Valentine cards.

I wonder about things like this.
I hope she received it and it wasn’t lost.

Or maybe she received it, but was unable to identify the shy person who sent it.
