USS Cleveland vs. Waseda University 1908 Japan
Wow Misha,
Special thanks to your Mom!
Here is a Japanese baseball postcard that I have posted before - I have had some help with translation, but would love to know what the personal inscription says?
Is this something your mother can read?
Translation on the front reads:
USS Cleveland vs. Waseda University Big Baseball Match Commemoration (Victory Waseda)
"The 2 cancellation dates are from the reign of Emperor Meiji (Hirohito's grandfather). The date on the postmark in the middle of the card is
October 7, 1908 - the 41st year of the reign of Meiji. The postmark on the stamp is October 4th, so 2 different post offices cancelled the card. The addressee was in Tokyo."
