The writer of this postcard was most likely Ila [Adams]. She signed her name just above the "o" in Post above. Ila Adams (b. 1889) was the daughter of Julia Richardson and Thomas Adams and first cousin to Esther. There is a possibility the writer was Ila Aherron, another first cousin to Esther and the daugther of Lucy Richardson and Thomas Aherron. However, indications are this Ila went by the nickname of Sootie.
Pearlie may refer to Esther's first cousin Pearl Gosney (b. 1890) and daughter of Thomas Gosney and Amanda Sarah "Sallie" Richardson. The identity of Susie is currently not known.
