I wrote Elsie a card too . I suppose she will get it all right. It will be 6 or 8 weeks before we can come but if we all keep well expect us to come sure this time. Write soon
Maude & Walter
Looks like the Kansas folks are coming for a visit.
Dec 22, 1919
Hello Ethel
how are you and what are you going to do for Xmas.
We are all well hope this find you the same
Maude
The older sister in Ks. is wishing her younger sister in Arkansas a Merry Xmas. The date written on the card looks like 1919. The postmark looks like 1906.The date on both should read 1909. it seems mail was sent from Kansas the day it was mailed or the day after, I wonder how long it took before it reached the Post office in Arkansas? Also wonder how often the Smiths made the trip (5 miles) to Carlisle to get mail?
Mar 22 1901 (*The postmark on the card looks like 1910 not 1901?)

This is a card from Maude 'Smith' Timmons, she was married to Walter Timmons. The Cy that is mentioned is her brother Cyrus M. Smith both are children of William and Elizabeth. Cyrus was married to Ellen 'Ferguson' Smith. Maude and Cyrus or their families never moved to Arkansas and were always referred to as the Kansas folks as I was growing up.
