Unknown house with family on porch
Springfield area

This house is very typical in Springfield. There are similar houses on Firglade Ave. and perhaps even an exact match at 103 Garfield St., but I don't think it is the same house because in the postcard, the neighboring house has a diamond-pattern window which is not present on Garfield St.
This is our Springfield home. Mannil(?) will tell you about it and give you the news better than I can write it, so excuse a letter until I have something new to tell about. We had a nice visit with Mannil(?) and Will and I felt lonesome after they left us Tuesday. Sorry you cannot come see us. Will send Ma's box now soon as I can get one big enough for shades. Essy. Apr 26, 1906. (on front)
