[Postcard with printed words "Russia, Japan, Peace Conference, August 1905" and stamped with the seal of the city of Portsmouth, N.H.]

Postcard sent by newspaper correspondent Edmund Noble to his daughter, Beatrice. Text reads: Besides Japanese and Russians there is a German here, representing the National Zeitung of Berlin.

As to the prospects of peace, there are more of them today than before. Papa
