Aftermath of building fire, Chelsea, Michigan

View of spectators looking at commercial building destroyed by fire in Chelsea, Michigan. Handwritten on back: "This will give you a little idea of the fire. If you are lonesome come out after Xmas and I will try & cheer you up. Why don't you come write that girl not to come that you won't be at home. I will try and have enough snow for sleighing and coasting because we can have some fun going out in the country. Say I think he has forgotten me and I had forgotten I ever knew him until you put that on the postal and for quite a while I couldn't think who that was. Come out and cheer me up I am lonesome too. Nina Belle." Card is postmarked December 16, 1909.
