Postcard sent to Miss Cornelia Shaw in Davidson, December 1911, from Albert Lincoln Bramlett (Class of 1911). Cornelia Shaw was Davidson College's first full-time librarian (she also served as the college's registrar).
Text of the postcard: "Dear Miss Shaw: I am getting along very well teaching. Certainly miss the Library and Reading Room. It seems to me that I almost read as many books on Economics for Review Marks as we have books in our Library. I hope all goes as well with you all as you wish. A.L. Bramlett Derita N.C."
