The card is inscribed and is addressed to Miss Edyth Ott in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Transcription

Was very glad to hear you had arrived safe and sound, we miss you very much, sorry your stay was so short, we have had a great deal of rain since you left--the folks have not done much crabbing and it is too rough for fishing, you may come again before we leave. Love from Mamie [sic]
