MacIntosh in Connersville, Indiana. The card is postmarked Jackson, Mississippi, August 23, 1909 and a green, one cent Benjamin Franklin postage stamp is placed crookedly in the upper right corner.

Transcription

Jackson, Miss. Aug. 23-09 Dear Girlie: I received your most welcome letter with the photos and to say the least I was glad to get them: They are all fine except your humble servant, [and] he is fierce. I think it would be wise for you to go form home to Indpla, attend the star [and] then come down direct from Indpla reaching here on the 5th. It is raining and rather cold. Many thanks for the [?] Lovingly Lon [sic]
