Dear Mother  I am sending you a postal the way we had on 4th of July every thing was under water.  Mother there where the cross is; is part of our house that is in the alley, or I mean taken through the alley way.  the water was taking sidewalk's away on many palaces, we didn't have any water by our house but our neighbor couldn't get out of their house  Frank had to take a boat and give them some planks by the house so they could get out.

From your Sisterlaw Mary. Anna that looks like him:

One surmises that she may be referring to a beau of Annie's.

Annie from Frank and Mary (Brother and Sister-in-law)

This postal is from Frank he is sending it to you.

I believe this is from Annie's brother Frank.  Mary Bartos -- Frank's wife -- has put the initials MB on the front of other postals she has sent.
