Description
This vintage postcard showcases a lumber mill alongside the Kennebec River in Augusta, Maine, painted in muted greens, browns, and blues. The front features the Detroit Publishing Co. logo and the image is numbered 90a3. A postmarked January 4th, 1913, from Milltown, Maine, the back shows a handwritten message concerning illness and the sender’s inability to visit; a charming glimpse into the early 1910s.

I have been sick in bed with La Grippe and haven't been outdoors yet, so shan't be able to come up to see you, Maud.
