A tall stone soldiers monument topped with a statue stands in Goodwin Park, surrounded by trees and flower beds. A building is visible through the trees on the right.
The sender, writing from a camp in Eliot, Maine, used the card to show a friend where she spent a day off. She calls Portsmouth an enjoyable place to tour and mentions her work with two little girls and the birds and flowers she finds plentiful.

Dear Virginia
This picture shows
you where we spent
one of our days off
at least a part of it.
The tour of Portsmouth
is a very enjoyable
place. I like my work
with my two little girls
now and I think you'd
like them too. I know
you'd love the birds
and flowers that I find
so plentiful here. Margo
