Transcription

[ back of the postcard] Thursday Hayne has just left for Shelby. A rain here this morning delayed him. They returned with N. O. with a new car. So we've really been enjoying the coast. We explored the Edge Water Gulf Hotel last night. I's wonderful! I've decided to join the Presbyterian Church here on Sunday. Later on will transfer to Shelby-- [front of the card, ontinued from the back] The pastors name is Brown--The church is just a half block away. Yes, the [?] are showing weakness. Betty Ramer is arriving Saturday from Fondren. Love, Anna.
