From what I can make out, the card reads: "Dear Gertie, I am looking forward [sic] a letter from you. Hoping you are all well
your loving Cousin

Moosomin would've been a sparsley populated railroad town back in 1904. The town takes it's name from Chief Moosomin (Cree), who signed Treaty 6 at Battleford in 1880. "Moosomin" is the Cree word for the moose berry (cranberry bush).
