[Mexican Quarters #2]

Postcard image of an unidentified rural neighborhood in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, with the handwritten label "Mexican Quarters" at the bottom. The image was taken from a hill and there is a mix of adobe houses and wooden shacks with wooden fencing built around an open square below, and other buildings along the ridge of other hills in the left and center parts of the image. 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. "
