Miami, Fla. February 20, 1954
Dear Patch- Have just sent cards to my other furry friends (your Va. Cousins) tried to find appropriate cards, so even though you’re a bit young to follow the horses, thought those trees might interest you- or do you still prefer the rugs?
Master “Patches” Miller
c/o Ruth Ann Miller
R.D. #3
Lebanon, Penna.
The question that troubles me is the identity of “Patches.” I’m guessing that “Patches” is an animal of some sort, and the sender of this postcard has transcended into full dementia, believing that this animal is truly interested in playing the horses over urinating on trees and carpets, unlike her other furry friends in Virginia.
Lebanon, PA is a town of about 25,000 people today. Ruth Ann Miller is a fairly common name, so a precise record of her living (or her death) in Lebanon is hard to pinpoint. R.D. #3 is a curious abbreviation, and looking it up on Google Maps points to a Home Depot just outside of town.
