Back reads:
Reads:
Di karte shik ikh fir
dem feter Rakhmilen un tyohtye Bayle (Baellow)
far aykh ondeynk fun zeyer
plimenik Yoshaye un femilye

This card I send for
my uncle Rachmil (Morris) and Aunty Bayla (Baellow)
as a souvenir from
your nephew Yeshaye (Shaya Balaban) and family
-----
The names for Shaya's children that Fannie Cohen shared are not consistent with the names signed on the back. She said, Meir, Rachmeal, and Nuchum. Actual names are, oldest to youngest, Chaim, Milye, and Meir.
