Project 365 - Photo 11 . . . Out of Focus # 5, originally uploaded by Ontario Wanderer.
This photo is a detail from a post card sent in September of 1917.
As I read it, it says,
Hello Doc. Walt and I are now regular sailors except that we have never been on the water and don't know how to sail. Write. Jack.
[Corrected the typo "Walt and I are now..." is correct, not "Walt and I are not...." I made that same error a few years ago on a newsletter and got raked over the coals but my fingers still make the same error at times and the spell check just doesn't catch it.]

Interesting! Do you know any more of the story behind this postcard?
Sorry, I have not much to add. I have a bunch of old postcards that I was given or found when I was stamp collecting as a youngster. I don't know where this one came from. The names were not familiar to me.
Does it possibly say "Walt and I are now. . ."?
Thinking of you guys today.
Yes, Ardis, you are correct. It was a typo by Ontario Wanderer.
Quel documentation énorme ! Photographies très riches... Bravo. :)
