Postcard showing bathers in the winter surf at Madeira Beach in St. Petersburg, Florida. The caption of the back about the beauty of the Florida winter reads:

Just a little message at the glorious time
So that I may tell you in this simple rhyme
That I'm thinking of you, wishing you were here
Sharing all the beauty of a winter here;
Basking in the sunshine, breathing balmy air;
Oranges a-plenty, come and get your share!
