A note on the front says, "Expect to be at Winona in June. Will I see you? Rose Plummer" Note: In the Alumni directory there is a Rosella Plummer Cowler who graduated from Manchester College in 1905. Could this be the same person who wrote the postcard?

One postcard, MC2009/135d, is not identified as coming from Manchester College. It is composed of four college age girls around a desk. One is writing. One appears to be gesturing as she might be instructing what to write.
