This week, our weekly picture-postcard puzzle takes us to the United States. It is April 1906, and the writer simply tells us that his hand is still improving and that he is “here for the day.” The place in question appears to be the Pensions Building in Washington DC, where Civil War pensions were calculated and administered. The card was addressed to J. Hemmings, Esq., at the corporate headquarters of the Nobel Explosives Company. Make of all that what you will!
