Best Friends Forever

Badly damaged photo, but a sweet testament to friendship- or maybe sisterhood.
Hoping that "Truman" was an old sick pet, and not a person! This is an unsent, divided postcard with a plain square for a one cent stamp. Found in Pittsford, Vermont.

Written on the back:

Everett!
Truman died this afternoon at four o'clock.
I was very glad to hear that you had a position and hope you will be successful.
