Used, divided back, postmarked Saranac Lake, May 16, 1910. Handwritten message on reverse reads, "This will give you a faint idea of one of the business streets. I have tramped over these quite often since I am here. I went to the Episcopal Church last Sunday and to the Methodist last night. I am glad they have at last decided on a pastor for our church. Lester had seemed better, but has a bad cold now. I will spend this week yet with him. Love to all, S. A. Jones." Mailed to Miss Alice Koogle, West 3rd St. Frederick, Maryland.
