A black and white photographic postcard of a tall building on a street lined with horse-drawn carriages. Text on the front reads "Chicago, Columbus Memorial Building." A handwritten note on the front reads "July 22, '05, [Illegible] nearly died this week - had gastritis & a severe cold. Had 2 doctors for him & one came 4 times!!! He is lots better now. For 6 days it was 94 to 98 all the time. The 'cool wave' came on Wed evening. The family are still away so 'peace & quiet' still reigns supreme in the household!! Love to all, Tod."
