Description: This is a vintage postcard, posted 1916 of Haskell Institute, now Haskell Indian Nations University, with correspondence. It was sent to the Marie Carter of Topeka and it was from Mrs. Spencer, mother of Harry Spencer. The message is cryptic. Harry misses his SS? What? Also there is a note from a child. Keep reading to the end of this because there is a cool historical connection here. I found the postcard at the Evanston, Illinois estate of Robert Russell Jones originally of Topeka Kansas, Jones had a successful career in journalism, culminating in him being anppointed editor of Industrial Research magazine. His work at Industrial Research is what brought him and his family to Chicago. His wife was the author Dorothy V. Jones. Marie was his mother. Marie was the great great granddaughter of the Potawatomi missionary Robert Simerwell. Her great grandmother was Elizabeth Simerwell Carter, the first non-indigenous female born in Kansas. , The card is in good vintage condition, note that there is some staining, corner wear, and edge wear. Look at all of my postcards! I am happy to combine shipping. Just ask either before or after your purchase. It all works,
