Item #40529
ANS, 1p, heavy stock 3½" X 5½", Laramie, WY, 1932 December. Addressed to John Leiser, a Chicago musician and music school founder. Near fine. "We are all about as usual, including the littlest, now nearly a year old -- David Van Wormer Clough." And notes travels: "I was... in the Black Hills country last summer for branch school, and took a short trip to Star Valley, Western Wyoming. The obverse is a feeble attempt to catch a bit of the 'Wyoming Alps', or the Tetons...." Nicely penned in brown ink. The verso is a fine print titled "The Tetons," a tiny woodblock image of grand mountains, captioned "Christmas Greetings / Mr. and Mrs. Wilson O. Clough." With original envelope, addressed in Clough's hand.
