Card reads:
Dear Cleo - Letter writing seems scarce - However I think of you and yours often - Spent wkend of 6/9 in NYC - meant to drop you this card from there. I think you owe me a letter. [?] so far has been cool here. Just came in from a steak fry supper - grand picnic spots here - Expect to be Mpls - July 16 - to Aug. Love to you all - Lilli.
*Another case of very tight cursive handwriting that is somewhat prohibitive to my translating the entire message on the card. If anyone can make out any of the words I've indicated with a [?], please leave your best guesses in the comments section.
UPDATE: 12/25/10
Thanks to commenter Anonymous12:28 we have most of the words now - just missing one.
*We previously featured another copy of this postcard, that one blank and unused, back on 09/10/10.
