Dear Mom and Dad,

We have stopped here on our way to Texas. It is now about 10AM and it is the first time we’ve been off the train. It is a pullman with sleepers on it. The time has passed fairly fast as we have been playing cards. I’ll write soon again.

Love Bob.

For the fun fact on the postcard, that day was March 9th, 1804.
