A postcard from a friend visiting Venezia to William Mary Schifferli at Innsbruck.

William at this time was sick with tuberculosis, and would soon return from school in early June 1908 to the family home in Buffalo NY to convalesce, but would pass away on 27-Jul-1908, a few months after this card was written.

Dear Wyllyam! I heard that you’re drinking beer - Prost - we dont - it cost 35 a […]-liter. Tomorrow is Bozen & Friday is Innsbruck. Heard fine concert last night on the water. We’re going […] on a boat. Don’t know what it is but we like it. Winter.
