Description

Inscription on reverse reads: “I am sending this card in answer to your welcome letter. Bob & I are going home today & it is such a beautiful day too. How did the concert come off. I would have liked to have been there to go to it but never mind better luck next time. I have printed your postcard but have not finished it so I will not send it today. I will send it along as soon as I finish it & also one of the cake. News and space is short & so I must close now. With best love from Bob & Ivy.”
