Description
Notes:
"L.S.S." - Life Saving Service
The first day of summer, 1915. At first glance it might be hard to imagine what Emma was thinking of when sending this card. However, the sinking of the Lusitania – with the loss of 1,200 lives – had just taken place the month before. It is safe to say war was in the air and it must have been clear to her that Olney could end up in it.
