October 1950 Postcard from Grandma

"These roads in the east keep one guessing for there are so many that go over, under and around.  Parking is nil ... and traffic is a continuous stream."

Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Company c1945 postcard

Gladys to M/M HH Uible sent Oct. 1950 while visiting CJU's sister 

Serena and nephew Leslie Reynolds

As you can see Grandma wasted no space, writing in three different directions except for the direction of the addressee.  Transcription follows:

Sat. 9PM.  We are now in Cambridge Mass.  Left Serena's at 7:45 came by Providence R.I. arriving at Leslie's at 1 PM.  Had quite a time finding his street.  We have a very nice room 4 blocks away.  Leslie and Joan took us out to see the school etc. this afternoon.  There are many historical places near.  These roads in the east keep one guessing for there are so many that go over, under and around.  Parking is nil unless you know and traffic is a continuous stream.  Give Catherine [and think of her yet unborn siblings] a hug for us. Love, Mother  [Written on top upside down:] Dad has your letter.  [Written sideways in addressee part:] Mrs. Ballantyne have a good visit with J-H. [Lucie with Jean, Harold]
