Written on back: Dear Ethel and Family: How is every one, have thought of you so often. Suppose you are busy looking after your property's. I wonder why you never come up. I wrote a card to Nettie & it came back to me unclaimed. It said moved and did not leave an address. Do you know any thing about her. I put the [illegibe] Love - Nellie.
