This is the only postcard or letter in the collection to Esther Richardson for the year 1910. Esther kept all her correspondence, so I can't help but wonder what happened to the other letters from that year.
Hello, Esther. received
your letter a fue
minutes ago. will
write soon. Give all
my love. I Remain as
ever. WF. Elliott
Postmarked: Fort Slocum, NY

W.F Elliott was the son of C.R. Elliott and Eudore Ware (source: WFE's death certificate) and a first cousin to Esther. Notice the faint penciled name Mannie at the top of the card. That would be WFE's brother Mannie Elliott.
