In the square, an unidentified woman is hanging laundry and several horses are visible, as well as a wagon; three other people are walking up a path in the background. A handwritten note on the back addressed to Miss G. M. Horne says, "Dear G.M. Haven't forgotten you. Will write soon. Everything fine and lots of work. Walter. "
