Title

Not the Beauty of Tulips

Description

A young couple stands in a wooded area. The image appears to be a photograph that was later colored in. The young man has dark hair, a brown jacket, and blue pants. One hand is around her waist, holding a dark hat; the other is holding her hand. The young woman has lighter, potentially reddish hair and is wearing a stylish white summer dress. Their faces are centimeters away, as if they are about to kiss. The yellow text at the bottom reads: "Not the beauty of Tulips, Nor the taste of mint Julips, Can compare with your two lips, My beautiful darling." The image is framed with a thin yellow border.

Hello Ruth!
Read your card Sunday. Am well & feelin' fine. Say is this what you played Thursday July 8? Didn't know so just asked. Say H.T. [illegible]ast night but he's still a bit ruffled I guess.
Yours as ever,
Ester
