Doc-003: This postcard below was written from Andrew Forbes to Mrs. J. M. Forbes. Right now, I am guessing that Mrs. J. M. Forbes is the wife of his only child, James McLaren Forbes - will have to investigate this further. The postcard was mailed on May 26, 1913. This gives us the first confirmed writing sample of Andrew Forbes. Boy, his handwriting sure was messy, if this post card is any indication! Postcard courtesy of Toureson / Bailly.
