Description
The card is dated Aug. 11, 1918, and was censored by JJM Maguire, 1st Lt. 302 Inf. A red stamp over Lt. Maguire's signature reads, ‘A.E.F. Passed Censored’ (last word shows very faintly). There is neither postage mark nor postage stamp, which might possibly indicate that military personnel did not need to pay for mail sent out.

Dear Friend,
How is every thing in Watson now? Suppose you are getting ready for cattle shows by this time. This is a pretty good country but nothing like the U.S. The weather has been fine so far, nights are very cold for this time of year but it is hot enough thru the day to make up. Write when you have time.
From your Friend,
M. L. Purinton
