Here is what was written on the backs of old post cards I purchased from the Brimfield antique fair Saturday. Most were written in fountain pen. What do you think?

Enjoying my little vacation home. Will be looking for a job next week but probably not at the U.S.S.B.E.F.C. Lots of capitals there. Wish you success at your next job afloat or ashore. B.A. Carroll.

Afton Jan. 1st 1914. Dear Mrs. Evans, On our card you wrote me said you did not forget me or Afton. Thanks to you for it. Neither do I forget you & your family.

I have not forgotten you if I did not get up to see you, before I came up here, I tried to do all I could before leaving home. Its fine here and I am enjoying the change all I possibly can.

No address. May 1st, 1910. Postcard of Burlington Vermont, College Row. My dear friend. I was so glad to hear from you once again. I am sorry you have been so sick, if I had known you were ill, I should have sent you cards, but thought perhaps, you had all of the cards from my way you cared for(?). So I did not dare send. I hope you will get on now, as it is coming warm weather that will perhaps prove (letter ends. continued probably on another card.
