Have attended 3 churches and the U.M.C.A. today, and am getting no better fast. I'm afraid I sent you that program too late for you to get away this out(?) on Sunday. I was still looking for the ones I sent for bent(?) they must still be on the road. Perhaps I sent you nothing you could use. "The Sunday School Army" wedges be(?) whittled down to suit. Also another one is here, I forgot what."; The recipient of this postcard is written in the "Address" section: "Miss Eva Ludwig / Cogan(?) Station Pa.".Collection
