Dear (illegible)
I read your letter some time ago and was so glad to hear but sorry you are not feeling well. I have been down out all summer and we are having some real hot weather in Pueblo now we did have it nice and cool for the month of June hope you are well feel – a card at (illegible) as ever your friend.
Date Mailed: July 18th, 1926.
Origin: Pueblo, Colorado.
Destination: Salt Lake City, Utah.
The Outside {the Suitcase} series features artifacts from my personal collection of postcards and found photos that are unrelated to the Man from the Suitcase project.
The Man from the Suitcase 
Nothing odd–but still the swastika is jarring. I am hoping it truly was used (since we are talking Colorado) as the Navaho Indian symbol for “good luck”. I also know how it is (with Great irony) that a religious symbol formed by a Greek Cross with all ends of the arms being bent at right angle became symbol of sheer terror.. I have never seen a postcard like this…

That’s my hope too!

I meant to add that since the post card was 1926, it should be a safe symbol and one for good luck. No other intentions as that would not come until WW II.

Exactly…but it is so jarring, isn’t it, especially against that beautiful background.

I recognised the symbol as a positive one immediately. I appreciate your having an open mind and sharing this. Warm regards. xo
