Postcard of a public square in Cleveland, Ohio, facing southeast, with buildings, a monument, and many cars in and around the square. A handwritten note addressed to Miss Helen H. Aten says "Lt. W. W. Aten, Camp Perry Ohio, Cleveland, Sun Morn, Sept 6, 42. This is a cut of Cleveland and it does seem like quite a nice place. We went to a show last night and saw Ted Lewis- orchestra on the stage and a real big picture. I guess I slept thru part of it. Cleveland is 82 miles from camp. We will soon be sight seeing and I hope its good. Your Bro, Woodrow."
