The Easter Excuse Postcard — New Hampshire

At some point in the mid-20th century, Ginny skipped Easter with her mother and instead mailed a postcard apology from:

Cathedral of the Pines
Rindge, New Hampshire

The postcard was addressed to:

Mrs. Geo. H. Clarke
67 Concord Street
Nashua, New Hampshire
In care of Georgia Alexander

Instead of showing up for Easter dinner, Ginny explained:

She and her companion drove to the mountains for their “Easter treat.”

Which raises a few questions:

  • Did the Clarke family live at 67 Concord Street in Nashua?
  • Who was Georgia Alexander — a relative, tenant or neighbor receiving the mail?
  • And did Ginny ever make it to the next Easter dinner?

If this address, family name or story sounds familiar, we’d love to hear from you.
