Nearly all the space on this divided back is taken up by publishing information, a railroad-promotion motto, a barely legible postmark, a special cancellation, an intact postage stamp, and a crowded message that carries over upside down at the top of the message panel, as well as a legible address, the latter two both handwritten in cursive with unevenly transferred blue ink.
