Transcription

[front of the postcard] Blanton Park; Elks Home [back of the postcard] Say why under the sun don't you write--I have waited long enough for an answer to my last letter and I think you might spare me just a few minutes to tell me all the news. If I come up I'll make you hard to catch.
