A wide gravel path leads through Robbins Park toward a small bandstand or gazebo, with large trees framing the grounds. Children sit on the lawn at right, and a house stands behind the gazebo beneath a tinted sky. The scene reflects the early-20th-century role of city parks as shaded promenades and neighborhood gathering places.

Thank you for the
pretty Easter card.
I was glad to hear
from you.
I was in Mount Vernon
when it arrived, but Mrs.
forwarded it to me.
Have been taking care of
my mother, who was
sick again. I hope this
card is different from the last
sent. I sent so many, I forget just which
one and to each one. Lovingly, Blake
