Note on back: "Jan. 20, 1948. Glad to get your card and to know you arrived safely and located in an enjoyable place. The temperature today is 15 above zero which is quite different from what it has been. Ten below zero and etc. You are quite lucky to have missed this cold snap. Nothing of importance around here, just the same old grind with not too much 'flu'. Cedarville and Bryan play basketball tonight, neither team has been defeated in the county loop so one will be a loser tonight. Kindest regards, Lloyd."
