You Have Caught Me

Here's Minnie Rossow, writing from Chicago, it appears, and missing her friend down in Ainsworth.

5-1-2014 1912-07-02-b

The postmark is July 2(?), 1912. Just left of the Chicago postmark, she has written: "You wasn't froze when you got home, was you?" — an unexpected question in July, but if it wasn't an inside joke, perhaps they'd had some unseasonably cool weather.

The note in the upper left-hand corner, as best I can decipher, reads: "Mach's gut und schreibe bald," i.e., "take care and write soon."
