The back of the card is addressed to Miss Eva Bown, Danville, Ala, R-3-Bot 54. The postmark reads June 13, 1913.
The card is written in pencil and hard to read. It says:
Hello Eva how are you all ok I hope I got home all right I hope to see you soon if I could see you I could tell you a whole lot more than I can right (?) hope to (?) soon By By Dave
I have 4 other cards of this pair. I think they were courting.

AAaawwww...how sweet! Eva is my Mumsie's name. I love her name.
Happy PFF!
I hope I never find a mouse in my rye.
The card is wonderful and so is the message. I'm always happier to find a card that's been used than one that's blank.
Aw! love the caption...
"When coming thru the rye...
"If a body Kiss a body need a body cry?"
(That is a spoof on a song, right?)
Blessings & Aloha!
I really don't like mice in my bread. But my guys use to like to read adventures of mice. Happy PFF
Love this, sarala! Happy St. Patrick's Day! :)
Oh yes, it does sound as though they were courting. A very cute card - I love it!
That is cute, though it did take me a second read to get it, doh. How intriguing to have four from the same couple.
It's from a Robert Burns poem. See:

Sweet courting... had to be careful what you wrote... the whole town may know . love the postcard. PFF
I'mnot sure what I think aobut this card - it feels more creepy than cute to me!
In any case, that line is from Robert Burns, the Scottish poet.
