On April 2, 1913, Jessie sent a penny postcard to her cousin Lula (Stairs) Swift. The card ... today is preserved in the Minerd-Miner-Minor Archives. In the card, Jessie wrote:
"Dear Cousin, Received your card ans was glad to hear from you. I got home O.K. I have not yet begun to clean house yet but want to start this week. Ruby is going to help me do some papering. Will try and come up [to Greensburg] soon as I get through a little. Good Bye Jessie"
