    Description

    Vintage Continental-sized (approx. 4x6) chrome postcard with a view of the harbour
    at Letterfrack, in the Connemara country of western Ireland.
    Sheep graze on the grassy shores.
    Front caption reads, "Kylemore from Letterfrack, Connemara, Co. Galway, Ireland."
    Back caption reads,
    "LETTERFRACK: This quiet little harbour lies at the head of Ballynakill Harbour
    and is overlooked by Doughrough Mountain. The rugged coastline northwards
    to the Killary is exceedingly beautiful. Connemara with its wild grandeur is not as remote
    as its seems having its share of good hotels and tourist roads. Much of the coastal region
    is Gaelic-speaking and the inhabitants preserve many ancient customs. Salmon and
    trout abound in the lakes and rivers, and Letterfrack is a good angling centre."
    Card No. 2/518 published by John Hinde, Cabinteely.
    Split back; used, posted Dublin (Baile Átha Cliath) 1985 and mailed to Newport RI, USA.
    Inked note reads,
    "20th June 1985
    Couldn't believe the fantastic flight because dreaded thought of it.
    Still staying at Clontarf Road, soaking up family atmosphere. A wonderful tonic.
    Shall be lonely when I leave for the U.S.
    Today the wedding, but not until 3 pm so using the waiting time to send
    greetings. Love go leór, Máirín."
