Halifax, Nova Scotia, Can. (Victoria Hospital and North End)

By Henry Hechler of Halifax, dated July 15, 1901 and addressed to Mr. Leo W. Geisler, Sr., Amsterdam Ave and 105th St. "Drug Store", Manhattan Bor., New York, U.S.A. The cancels on the back (see image) are slightly odd as it appears that the postmark reads [19]05 -- it seems possible that the original stamp was torn off and another attached at a later date but I can't quite figure out why. The note on the front appears to be suggesting that liquor is hard to come by in Halifax.
