This card of the Methodist church is from the Wayne Paper Box and Printing Corp., series. It is numbered E-593.

The photograph appears to be of the same period as the Curt Teich card, and could be dated anywhere from the late 1920s to the late '30s.

The card was sent from Marengo, Indiana, dated January 28, 1941 (postmarked 9 a.m., Jan. 30) and addressed to Mr. Philip R. Hurd, 1503 Locust St., Jersey Shore, Pennsylvania:

"Dear Philip, Your Sunday card here today. I think the treatment is helping me. I washed today, first time in weeks. We are having gloomy days, damp & rainy. Kenneth is bringing LaVerne & Gretchen home tomorrow. Tommy is just fine. He would like to stay over here all the time. I see where there is lots of snow in the east. I sure hope we don't get much of it. I don't like snow or sleet. I have only been to the revival one night. So much sickness here, a bad time to hold meetings. You owe me a letter so I won't write a letter until you answer mine. Lulu." (11/30/99)
