I have also posted the back of this postcard for you to read. The postcard was sent to Mrs Lulu Crandall of St. Paul's, The Dalles, and President of the Ladies Guild. The hand-writing is a bit hectic, but it gives you an idea of the challenge of archival description. Is anyone up for transcribing the message?
In honor of EDEO's Convention this weekend, I am featuring one of my favorite images from the EDEO's archives, and the only known photo in our collection of the 1912 Convocation of the Missionary District of Eastern Oregon. In fact, we don't have many group photos with Bishop Paddock (seated on the steps, center) in our collection. Of course, I will keep looking for Paddock-era records, especially Convocation/Convention Journals and the Oregon Trail Churchmen.

( I used to belong to St. Matthews in Ontario. Also was member at Holy Trinity in Vale. I now attend the Willowcreek Community Church in Willowcreek, Oregon. Miss the liturgy! ) Here is the translation as best I can make it out:My Dear Mrs. Crandall, I thought you might enjoy this little mement? (probably "memento") of Your visit to La Grande. Your own picture is exceptionally good. Doubtless you will remember many of the faces. I am donating these cards as my guild work--am buying a clock for the mantel in Hall ?(house?) --be glad to receive an order for some if you could make use of them. They are 1C apiece Cordially yours, Mrs. H.R.McDonald
