Also there are buildings and homes in the background, as well as water and utility poles. In cursive writing, there is also a note. (Dear Mrs. Youngs.- I knew that you missed me by this time so I thought I would write and let you know I am well as usual and having a good time at the city. Uncle G- is a good deal better. Can walk a little now. Floy.)
