Handwritten on verso: This is the drug store and post office combined. The dr's office is right in front. I am sorry the big gasoline boats don't show up. I will send you some papers from here tomorrow. It was terribly hot here today also yesterday but I don't exert myself much. I am covered with hives but I am taking some medicine now so I guess they won't stay long. Got mothers letter tonight. Mary E will be on the town before long, won't she? Nona. Those homes on the other postal are not the nicest homes at the Beach. I don't know why they took those. Sturtevants house here is a beauty it is right near our lots.

Handwritten on verso of duplicate image: Dr. J.L. Hutchinson's office is in front. Pritchard Island. Gasoline boats landing.
