Postcard set: Handwritten invitations to rehearse the "Degree Team" { August 30, 1949 }

This is a set of three postcards sent to different members of the Lord family. The postcards all inform the Lords of a rehearsal of the "Degree Team" and the roles each member will play. All three mention a Book of Ritual that will be out soon, and all three say "Sooner or later, memorize your part." on the bottom left corner. The recipients are Miss Joan Lord, Mr. and Mrs. M. E. Lord, and Mr. Peter Lord. Each postcard appears to be written by a different hand, and all three are signed as follows: C. SawtelleB. DwelleyV. Wierman         CommitteeThere are differences between the card. One is typewritten halfway down, and handwritten the rest of the way. On the half typewritten card,  the name B. Dwelley is before the others.  A thick marker of a different handwriting style has written in the names B. Dwelley and C. Sawtelle. Another is written cursive in pen, except for the word "Steward", which appears to be written in by another hand. On this one, the word "Sooner" in 'sooner or later' is underlined. The other postcard is written in a thick marker, and is the only one written in a single style. The handwriting  on this postcard matches appended notes on the other two.
