A postcard featuring a color illustration of a child riding on a white donkey. The words printed under the illustration say “A ROUGH RIDER.” There is a handwritten message to Mary Jamison, possibly from Louise, which says the writer is having a “fine time,” and the child in the illustration might look like one of Jamison’s babies. The back of the postcard contains Jamison’s address and two postmarks, one for September 12, 1904, in Monessen, Pennsylvania, and one for September 16, 1904, in Grand Canyon, Arizona.
