This sepia toned postcard features a long three story building with a tower in the middle and a smoke stack. The title beneath the image identifies the building as "Laurel Cotton Mills--Largest in the State". An inscription is handwritten along the top and in the white space at the bottom of the card. The back of the postcard identifies the item as a postcard and provides indication for address placement.

Transcription

[along the top] Will go to Chicago next week if I'm well enough if not guess I'll give up that trip altogether. [along the bottom] Maybe I'm not glad to get up again. The Dr. said perhaps I could sit on the porch for a few minutes tomorrow. I sat up an hour yesterday and the day before and will stay up about four today. Wish Coop would send me the tomatos. I feel like I could eat most anything. Wish I could be with your [?] Love [?]
