1906
Wellesley Square - Boston Marathon
Postcard
A
very rare postcard showing the leaders running through Wellesley.
This card was sent to Master Gerald Miller in Westminster,
Massachusetts, postmarked on October 8, 1906. It was sent
by Mary B. Miller and she wrote:
Dear
Gerald,
This
gives you a picture of the great Marathon racers - Young
men who run twenty five miles without stopping, doctors
and nurses follow in teams to care for any that fall down,
or have to stop. This shows view as they were passing through
Wellesley. Do you suppose you will ever want to try such
thing?
How
do you like school? I wish you could see this school that
Grace and I are going to. I hope baby is better. Please
remember me to your mother and I should like to have you
write to me.
Mary
B. Miller
