content: 38 postcards (stamped and postmarked), nearly all containing messages from Alice Smaus to her parents in Downers Grove, Illinois, and to her future husband, P.F.C. Gerald Jacoby at Camp Keaney, Nebraska; mailed from locations in the South where the band entertained.  Most images are photolithographs, but the group includes a "real photo" card of Amphitrite Hotel and its "gangplank," Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.  The cards are in an album with plastic pages, apparently supplied by Ms. Kovan, not actually used by Ms. Jacoby.  Donated by Alice Smaus Jacoby.
