Description
Postcard of a crowd watching a horse race
Handwritten note on back says "Dear little boys, how is this for a crowd. Would you like to be in it? I think you would get lost. In Wichita everybody is in such a hurry. How is music. Will you soon go to school. I am in Wichita waiting for the train to go to Hope. I am so glad I will go home in a little while. I am having a good time. Arthurs want me to stay for the fair I had rather come home. With love, Mother. Master Charles & Willie Bishop, Hotchkiss, Colo. R.F.D. #2"
