Scope and Content
A postcard written (on the verso) and painted (on the recto) by James Acord for Janet and Edward Galore, dated 20 February 1995. This is on "A Daniel Smith Postcard" — a handmade paper postcard developed by Daniel Smith Art Supply, Seattle, WA.
The recto has a drawing/painting of the "Saint Street Studio" (Hanford Nuclear Sculpture Works), signed and dated with "Valentine for Janet & Edward Galore" at top, with a heart.
The verso contains a dense letter to the Galores, which describes: (1) Acord heading out to Idaho National Engineering Laboratory; (2) appreciation for a mixed tape titled "Mrs. Galore in Absentia"; (3) Acord's hopes for a new cat, and a memory of the last one he had; (4) an exploration of all the possible types of cat that the Galore's could bring to him, including "the one with ears chewed down level to his skull, and missing one eye who bites every hand that feeds it."
