Postmarked: "Pinar Del Rio(?), Cuba, ENE 15 2PM 1909"

Typed transcription (continued):
"No, (neither) the pesetas, or even the centavos, (are) coming my way in alarming quantities. Am doing well to get my siesta nocturna, café el tostada, or even agua free oh. And if I get back intact I'll thank the planets. It's a wonderful experience, and am getting enough excitement to write an almanac. Adios, senorita. Yours, crazily, T.E.L."

"Miss May Russell, Russellville, Arkansas, U.S.A."
