Single sheet folded into fourths, measuring 4 1/2 by 6 inches. Printed in black and green. With woodcut illustration on first page showing a view of Johnson Chapel through trees. The greeting on the inside contains a quotation from Frost: "Amherst's wish of the year is/that she should have disposed you forever/to look for a book side to everything." This is the first of only two Amherst cards to contain Frost quotations. This item is not recorded in Crane, and is only known in a single institutional copy. Very faint crease along fore-edge, else a fine and bright piece of Frost ephemera.
