Description
This postcard, mailed 1908, depicts one of several Mount Pleasant post offices - the building changed with the postmasters, several times in this period. The postcard was provided by Linda Guest.

The message on the back was written by "Frances" to her aunt Mrs. Hiram Howey and was addressed to "Mohawk."
Notes
A note on the postcard suggests that the photograph may have been taken in 1906, while both the 1¢ Quebec Centenary stamp and postmark indicate it was mailed in 1908.
