Transcription

[the inscription starts at the printed text and comes back to the top edge of the card] It's snowing. Isn't that fine? M. G. told me today that you are comming home Friday. I'm certainly glad you're comming. Be sure to mask Friday night. We will have a dandy time. M.G. won't be here and we want as many girls as possible to mask.Susie Lee said she saw you while she was in McComb. Write me some times. Virgie Mae [sic]
