Otto and Elsie go to Pennsylvania - 1946 - Part 2


This postcard is a bit of a mystery - Elsie did not date it, but it is postmarked August 21st.  The postmark says "Trans***Erie*****",  so I assume that they are in upper PA headed south to Garland.  And though they do not mention it, the Uptons are travelling by train because their car caught on fire in Eastern Oregon.   

"Dear Family

Our train leaves here at six for Garland.  We got here at 2-40A.M.  We have had a good trip but tired.  We tried to get a room but no luck.  Will be seeing the folks soon.  Will be thinking of you all and will be glad to see you.
Love,
Dad and Mom"
