Addressed to Miss Julia A. Barnes, Granville, Bradford Co., Pa.; bears 3 cent stamp.
Verse from song Starry Flag by John Savage: We must keep that flag where it e'er has stood; In front of the free, the wise, and the good!! And fight and fall, at our country's call; To defend the flag of the people!
