Transcription

[on the left side of the card] July 12th, 1907, Dear "Aunti" I intended to write to you this week but have not succeeded in carrying out my intentions. So I sent the "Little Gray Church" which I meant to enclose in my letter and I will try to write next week. We are about as well as usual and hope that you all are well. Lovingly your niece Sallie [across the top] The trees at the back and side of the church are in our yard.
