 John G. Morse 1908 Albany, NY Postcard 

As John traveled for work, covering territories for the Factory Mutual Fire Insurance Company of Boston, he navigated through different regions, inspecting various sites. The company's coverage of his expenses, from transportation to meals and lodging, made the extensive trips feasible. The absence of motels meant his accommodations likely leaned towards better hotels, a reflection of the times.

While on the road, John's experiences and observations would have shaped his perspective. The practicality of his job may have led to nights spent in different hotels, offering a glimpse into the diverse landscapes he encountered. Meanwhile, back home, Julie faced the reality of many lonely nights, eagerly anticipating John's return and finding comfort in the postcards that connected them across the distance.

My dear Julie,

Had a comfortable night and a fine sleep. Putnam the inspector I met  in N.Y. last and Simonds a draftsman are with me and we are having breakfast together. Cool and pleasant this morning. More later. 

Yours, John
