Postcard complaining about previous breaking of a chain.  US, 1940.


Don't think it was very
nice of you to break a chain.
I am not crazy about them.
But when I do get one I
sport
enough not to break
it! I'll know from now
on not to send you a card
if name appears on chain!
  You don't like 'em. This pen

seems to be working
O.K. now.  P. W.S - Your friend.
