Card of the day for May 25, 2020

[Howard Weinert]

A postcard sent from Vladivostok to Halberstadt, Germany by a naval cadet on the German frigate SMS Elisabeth, part of the German East Asia Squadron. Postmarked in Vladivostok on 19 August 1882. Arrived at destination 110 days later. The message reads, "Dear little sister, I just arrived here and I send you my regards. This card will cross Siberia by caravan. On Monday we leave this harbor because a large English squadron with ten ships is expected. Our next stop is Shanghai where we will join both our corvettes."

Journal 324 is very interesting. Great job, Chris.
