Posted By: <b>Brian C.</b><p>Here's an odd one -- an Eddie Collins postcard that was postmarked in Paita, Peru in 1914. Does anyone know what it says?<br><br><img src="http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j154/bcampf/collins1.jpg" alt="[linked image]"><br><br><img src="http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j154/bcampf/collins2.jpg" alt="[linked image]">

Posted By: <b>Doug</b><p>I think it says something about talking to a doctor at an office and receiving something from a friend, but my Spanish isn't quite what it used to be.
