Have you been working hard lately? I haven't, so far this is a very easy job I have here but I still don't like it so much though. Say, tell Mabeline to write sometime, I think she's forgotten me. It has sure been raining here lately. Must close for now. Catherine Dunlop'. The card is addressed to Mr. R.E. Dopson, care of Winn and Lovett Grocery Company, Drawer B, West Bay Station, Jacksonville, Florida.Subject Place
