Martinsburg, Newton D. Baker Veterans’ Administration Hospital Center

Mailed in 1948 by a patient who clearly wanted to go home, this card has its stamp and postmark, and an extra small rubber-stamp indicating that the recipient answered it.  Some postmark ink transfer on the front.  What makes this postcard more distinctive, it seems like the original caption was along the top edge but something went wrong so the producer overprinted that black line and put a new caption at the bottom.  Anyway … Grade: 3
