This postcard looks like it is written and addressed in a foreign language, but it was postmarked in Delaware and has a receiving cancel showing that the postcard arrived the next day. How did it make it to its destination? Can anyone decipher the message or address?

That postcard is written in shorthand. That is what stenographers and secretaries used when dictated a letter. They could write as fast as the person was talking.
A number of people learned shorthand, so it is without a doubt that there was more than one person at the post office who could read it.
