- back "Mount Holyoke College South Hadley, Massachusetts 01075" A black bar obscures the words "Kendall Hall" - there had been a typo by the printer. It should have identified this building as Torrey Hall. Kendall Hall is the next building to the right of this view. Divided back, stamp box, postally unused, but inscribed "9/11/81 Friday Hi Tante! This is the dorm I'm living in now - on the second floor. We have a big room and have settled in quickly - the rug still has to be delivered from the cleaners but otherwise it's comfortable. Classes start tomorrow and I already have to do some reading to be prepared! Love, Janet" #61531-C; also #HOL-12 Published by Bob Wyer Photo Cards, Delhi, NY.
