Postcard to my grandmother from her niece

Pearl Reed about 1909

Dear Pearl,
I am glad you got home and I worst (wished) you were here know (now).
Margaret Busby


Miss Pearl Reed
2730 Kennwood
Indianapolis, Indiana

This postcard was written to my grandmother, Pearl Reed, after a visit to two of her sisters in Benton Harbor, MI in 1909.  Pearl was 23 and her niece was about 7.  I wonder why she chose a picture of the Ohio Penitentiary.
