There is a red ink "rec'd" stamp for May 1, 1905 upside down on the left side. The card is addressed to Mr. J. C. [?] in Montgomery, Alabama.

Transcription

Dear Daddy: Wish you would come down here and take me out fishing and crabbing. We would have lots of fun. "Big Sis" will not do anything but sit around on the gallery. She will not play with me at all bc I am too little. Yours humbly, John C.
