A handwritten note on the front of the card says "You must come visit us sometime, then you could see our nice little city." Another handwritten note on the back of the postcard is addressed to Miss Myrtle Birk in Voca, Texas and says "Read your letter, and was again glad to hear from you. It was Cha's finger that was mashed under a big granite rock. Dr. took off one joint of it so he is minus part of a finger, but we have not told Mother and Father Houston about having it amputated. Mildred has been sick for a week, cold and rising in her head. Love, Addie."
