Printed on back: "Belle Isle Bridge, connecting the main land with Belle Isle, Detroit's largest pleasure spot, is half a mile in length and spans the Detroit River at a height of 30 feet. It forms the connecting link over which thousands of pleasure seekers on foot, in carriages and automobiles pass on every pleasant day." Handwritten on back: "Frid. night. Dear Sister & Bro., I had ought to write a letter in answer to yours rec'd a few days ago, but as Bessie can tell you I was away yesterday & now it is too hot to breathe if it cost any effort. I think about the ... so much and hope to hear the bad piece is off & it is getting better. It has been a veritable 'scorcher' today. 'Toddie' gave out at noon & loafed this p.m. Had a ride to Belle Isle twice & back to get rested after standing still so long. With love & best wishes to you both from us, C & J.C."
