A color view of the hospital in Waltham, Massachusetts: a large ivy-covered brick building with a columned entrance porch, joined to a smaller brick wing at left. A horse-drawn carriage stands at the entrance, and a curving gravel drive sweeps across a lawn with flowering shrubs.
The card was postmarked at Waltham in June 1915. The sender writes to Mrs Clarence Robbins in Durham, Connecticut, about a trip to Putnam, a call made on the way back through Boston, and a promise to write with the day of her next visit.
