General
Postcard reads, "I am sorry I haven't a darker print to sent, but it may be weeks before I have time to print again so I'll not wait. I wish you and Pearl could be with us while Laudon is here.

With love, J.A.S." and is addressed to "Mr. Truman Smith, c/o Mr. Gesmer McCovey 53 St. Michael St. Mobile, Ala."
