[R. R. Stirman two wheel buggy photographic postcard]

Photographic postcard with an image of a man seated in a two wheeled, wooden buggy attached to a single horse, in the center of a dirt road. Buildings, trees, and a smokestack are visible behind them. On the buggy, the photographer's imprints read, on the roof "R. R. Sirman," and on the side, "R.F.D. 1." In the lower right corner, the photographer's imprint reads, "Kaufman, Tex." On the back of the postcard is a green Benjamin Franklin one cent stamp, postmarked July 23, 1908, 6pm. The correspondence side reads, "Little Miss Allen, hope you are fine / don't trouble papa / [illegible] to much of / nights [illegible] late / hours -- / [illegible].' The lower half of the card is damaged, making it difficult to read the text. It is addressed to 601 Fairmount St, Dallas, Tex.
