Postcard Details

Message · English, in pen

Dear Hannah:- Lima P.M. I miss you at home & I miss you at church, a splendid sermon this A.M. + good crowd. Elmer came home this A.M. but weak & starved. I just cant get over this week, but here's hoping you'll see enough of the birthday club folks on Thurs (I suppose it's that day) & that you'll be staying all night Thurs with us. Of course I dont think you'd want to be invited but I do hope you can stay with us. The whole family misses the Beards more than we can say. When I told O. about our getting down some day he said to Miss she said We're going to miss a lot of his cute sayings. Everett is here for a few days. I'll have to get used to not seeing Elsie.
