WFE is William F Elliott, son of C. R. Elliott and first cousin of Esther.  William was a frequent writer of postcards and letters to Esther.  He appears to also have been a suitor as well. You can see other  postcards written by WFE here , here   and here.  William Elliott served in the military and often his postcards are from interesting places he was stationed.

WF Elliott is the son of CR Elliott and the first cousin of Esther.  WF Elliott was the writer of previous postcards on Sep 11, 1911, June 18, 1911, July 16, 1910, and Dec 2, 1909.  Miss Lucie could be family friend Lucie Farson. D.T. is Daniel Thomas Richardson - Esther's father.  There is some indication from later letters that D.T. may have been in poor health during part of 1912. Katie is Esther's younger sister.
