About this postcard

A small frame church with a shingled roof and a square belfry stands on a grassy rise behind a low wooden fence, surrounded by large bare trees. The plain, compact building sits in Hot Springs, a Bath County resort town known for its mineral springs and the Homestead hotel. The handwritten message is a New Year's greeting, wishing the recipient "true happiness and prosperity" throughout "the coming year."
