McGowan met and married his future wife in 1918 (not Irene), so my guess is that the postcard you just shared is also from around 1915-1918. Very cool to know that another exists! It has that same crummy handwriting on front, but different corner creases and stains.

sorry it's taken me a while to reply - it was buried in a "need to re-file" box.
YES, it's mine, has not but mailed nor written upon, and has a patch of black paper residue from a scrapbook
on back, with "The Sanborn Studio, 404 Market St. Wilmington, Del." along the left edge on reverse.
great that you have the "to Irene" messages handwritten and sent by McGowan!
