I am sorry you were feeling sick. Naomi came up yesterday and she will go up to see Lillian W. tomorrow on the mail boat with me. I feel so tired I don’t know what to do. Mrs. Ida is much better. Will send cards from L.R. Love to all, Lillian, January 22, 1907 (my last night here).’ The message on the verso reads, ‘From L.A. Watson, Plantation Key, Planter P.6, Florida, care of J.W.
