Franked with 1-cent stamp and postmarked Newhall, December 2?, 1908. Mailed by "Mr. and Mrs. Ferrier" to C.L. Schutt of New York.

Back reads:

August Ferrier was a local prospector and town character who in 1911 purchased and shortly thereafter moved what came to be known as the Kingsburry House. Ferrier moved the house from Market and Spruce streets (now Market and Main) to Market and Walnut streets.

The Newhall postmaster in 1908 was Francis H. "Frank" Landell, seen in this photograph of the interior of the Lindenfeld & Landell general store (formerly Campton's) on Railroad Avenue. The post office was located inside the store.

About 1914, the store reoriented front-to-back to face Spruce Street (now called Main Street).
