Surprized to note I'm back in Texas. Will be here until around July 1. then hope to be back in Valley, but hope to see you all before I go to Valley. It is quite lonesome here, but guess I'll survive. Hope all is well with you and yours

History:
The original Newburn Sanitarium was built in 1917 on South Bonner Street. In 1928 that building was destroyed by fire and in the following year the building shown in this postcard was raised on the same location.
