Old Mail Day Ceremony on Green Acres.

Mad Magazine had an undelivered mail feature:
Post card to Abraham Lincoln.
“That play Our American Cousin is a real dud. Don’t bother going to see it. A waste of time.”
A+ for Sincerity of the writer
C- for Penmanship
He was either using a fountain pen or the Quill Feather of some large bird like a Swan or Turkey.
The ink is of top quality, to have lasted for so long.
The card has probably been stuck inside of a large, heavy book all this time. Sort of the way a flower would be pressed in a large dictionary. It shows very little discoloration or mold.
Is there a pic on the other side, possibly revealing what “the pair of these” refers to?
The handwriting looks a good bit like my grandmother’s. She was born in 1893.

PING
[The incident has sparked curiosity about how the postcard managed to remain undelivered for more than a century, and the story continues to unfold as more details come to light.]
Stuck in a very old sorting machine, fell behind a piece of furniture only now being cleaned, etc.
It Would be more interesting if it was from 2050
A hand written letter or postcard is sp much better than an e-mail or text.
I wish they showed the front of the card as well.
It says they have won the lottery and that they need to claim the money within 30 days or forfeit all.
