Front:
Black and white photo of Bedford Terrace in Northampton. On right side of street is a Smith College House [Albright or Baldwin]. Left side of street are residential looking houses. Some trees seem bare while some are still mostly full. Electrical poles line the right sidewalk.
Message on back reads: "Dear E -- Your letter came safely to hand. I am glad you think I am brave. I ought to be with so many loyal friends but some days I am quite a coward. I receive the letter in the same spirits as it was sent. I still visit the Osteopath once a week and hope for great things, F. L. M. / 45 Vernon St."
Back is addressed to: "Mrs. E. F. Harword / 115 Liberty St., / Athol, Mass."
Date is taken from postmark.
[F. L. M. is possibly Flora L. Merrifield]
