Title

Only to Dream of Her

Description

The image shows a young couple sitting on a green park bench kissing; appears to be a photograph that was colored in later. The woman is wearing a brown large hat decorated with flowers and a pink walking ensemble. Her white parasol is on the ground beside her feet. The man is wearing a suit that does not appear to have been retouched. Gold flower and vine motifs encircle the couple. The black text at the top is in a gold box and reads: "Only to dream of her, and on my pillow white In an eternal night sleep on for aye. Only to die for her and in the world to come With the true heart I've won, take there my rest."

In the purple pen at the top:
Home safe & sound but can't get the run(?) for good will I rite you a letter tonight

Hellow Ruth,
rec. your card sent you a letter Monday I was out on my[illegible] is the reason I didn't answer Your friend Howard
