Transcription

[front of the postcard] Cotton Field Near Moorhead, Mississippi [back of the postcard] Dear Friend: This is a poor picture but will give you an idea of what a cotton field looks like if you have never seen one. This was taken in Nov. after the field had been picked over once. Got Paul's pictures he looks some like he did three years ago, also think he looks very much like Dr. Would like so much to see you. We are having very cool weather for the time of year also blessed with plenty of rain. Regards to all--Lula D. [sic]
