This postal card was sent from Laitila to Loimaa in 1895. The Swedish name of Loimaa was Loimijoki.

Text of the card:

Härmed får jag underrätta, att å stationen i Loimijoki finnes ett paket att afhämta.

Högaktningsfullt

H. Hemmer

Translation:

I hereby inform that there is a package to be picked up at the Loimaa station.

Respectfully

H. Hemmer

An interesting thing for me is that I might have found what was in the packet. In third picture there is an advertisement from the newspaper Huvudstadsbladet in 1894 of crafts teacher H. Hemmer from Laitila where she is selling some kind of textile craft book. In fourth pic has similar advertisement in Finnish newspaper Kaiku from 1894.
