Letter transcription:

Noblesville, Indiana, April 28^th, 1891

Dear Sister Lena:

Yours of the 24^th, just received, but as I was at Indianapolis yesterday it may have come sooner. I have not been feeling at all well for more than a month, I first had a severe cold for two weeks or more & then had trouble with my stomach. I can hardly say what is the matter, I took considerable unwholesome “dosing” to cure my cold, such as pepper-vinegar stews, lemons, & at the same time drinking too much coffee, & in this way, no doubt, got my stomach disordered. I have had no fever at any time, yet I feel almost past going most of the time. I was a good deal better the latter part of last week, & until yesterday afternoon, but feel indisposed again to-day.

Letter from Eugene B. Scofield, 28 April 1891

Having lost so much time from my elocution, I tried a lesson Monday & one Tuesday. Met Celia at Uncles, she said that Ella & the twins were at her house Sunday. Reported the babies as growing so fast & as looking so sweet in their short clothes. I should like so much to see them. She said that Dan is looking well also. We are very well pleased at Noblesville, my time will not expire until the close of the year. We have a crowded house every Sunday night. Our work goes on satisfactorally & I do not expect it to let up in the least. Kiss the little ones for me & tell them that I should be glad indeed to see all.

Love to Ella, Bal, & my best regards to Dan. & his Mother & Maria.
With much love, I am your brother Eugene.

Dear Aunt Lena: –
We are making up enough carpet to make Bertha a rug out of old ingrain C. Haven’t quite enough wondered if you had about a yard and a half to help finish it. Some scrapes will Do. Let me know soon.

This postcard was written by Beulah Kerschner. She was Bertha Kerschner‘s twin sister. Due to the child-like nature of the handwriting, I would assume that the card was written between 1900 and 1910. It was definitely before 1916 as Beulah and Bertha’s Papa died that year.
