Description

This black and white postcard features a photograph of Galloway Hall, the boys' dormitory at Tougaloo College, in Tougaloo, Mississippi, a white, one story, Spanish style building set back among trees. The title of the card is printed along the bottom edge of the card. A May 23, 1942 postcard is on the back of the card with a green, one cent George Washington postage stamp in the upper right corner. A note written from Betsy to Uncle Charlie in Vermont is included.

Transcription

Dear Uncle Charlie, Margie and I are here for a month while Chad is all over the country and California. The flowers are out--warm sunshine--and plenty of people for M. to say hello to. It’s a wondeful place. I suppose sugaring is on now. It ought to be valuable this year. We've all enjoyed your letters. Betsy
