I Would Like to Meet You

Rebus: "Eye wood l-eye-ke two meat u."

 

Translation: "I would like to meet you."

 

"You will find the solution of this riddle underneath the stamp."

 

Handwritten message: "Read the riddle and you shall feel happy and think of me."

 

This postcard was addressed to Miss Annie Klick, R.F.D. #2, Lebanon, Pa., and postmarked in Mount Zion, Pa., on Jan. 17, 1907.

 

The stamp on the other side was torn off to reveal the solution printed in the stamp box underneath it: "I would like to meet (or to roast) you."

 

The rebus here conveys a playful message similar to the ones on acquaintance cards, such as May I See You Home? and I Am Uriah E. Heckert.

 

This is Huld's Riddle Series No. 5. For other postcards in the series see I Would Like to Make a Date with You and I Would Like to See You Here.
