c. 1909 Postcard

To Richard Pappe Sr. from his daughter Louise

This postcard was sent from Louise Pappe (Jersak) to her father from Union, Oklahoma (OKLA), on August 12th, 190-. The year in the postmark stamp is incomplete but appears to be 1908 or 1909. It is unlikely the card was sent before 1907 when the Oklahoma Territory (O.T.) became a state (OKLA). The uncle referred to in the text is Richard's brother, Albert Ludwig Pappe, who lived in Union City, Oklahoma, from 1904 until his death in 1924.

From Louise,

Hello papa. This is a picture of the elevator here. Uncle has shares in it. Are you all well?
