Baptist Church 05

I transcribed the message as best I could. I don't think I have it all correct yet. The message was written in pencil and is smudged. And there appears to be an erasure in the middle of the message around the word "we". But you get the idea. Company is expected and they'd better hurry up and get there!

This is an interesting card for a couple of reason. I love the unusual "flag" cancellation. Also, notice that it was postmarked in Moberly -- about 25 miles south -- not in Macon. I wonder if people in Macon were sending postcards with pictures of Moberly churches?

It is a very interesting full-color picture. It has very realistic colors, even though it was probably hand-tinted.

Compare the small size of the trees on the left to some of the other later pictures on other postcards that I have.
