Description
The majestic Lafayette Hotel in Asbury Park, New Jersey, graces this colorful postcard, showcasing its many windows and grand columns. A message reveals a roommate’s mistaken belief and joyful receipt of a previous card. This charming sepia-toned postcard, postmarked October 13th, 1909, from Iowa, is a delightful piece of early 20th-century history.

But he won't be lacking very long.
Roommate.
My roommate is mistaken.
I am mighty glad to get your card this.
Back Text (cleaned):
I fear I have to say, Aunt Kate, did you send that funny postcard to me? And though the post office at &c., next time please send them to Mount Vernon. I hope I was very fortunate to pick Lee. Starting soon, as I am thinking on my wedding sigh, I ask now, is the man.
