POSTCARD: 'I'M A POOR FISH BUT I LOVE YOU', JIM AND LILLIAN DENNIS ANNIVERSARY COLLECTION

1937
Overview

From a collection of Anniversary postcards sent to Jim and Lillian Dennis on their anniversary 14 September.
Front: 'I'm a poor fish, but I love you.' Above, drawing of a bear? And a mermaid sitting on a rock with the ocean, a ship, and two seagulls in the background.
Reverse: Handwritten message starts,
'To my wife on the 27th anniversary of our Wedding - from your ever loving husband - Jim -'
'Sept 14th 1937'
Part of the handwritten poem: 'It’s the same of tale but it’s always new; I’ve kept the same in my love for you; I say this every year that goes; There’s no difference at all that anyone knows; … And so I’m glad I married you wife; It will always be so to the end of my life’
