An off-white handwritten note done in pencil. It features rounded cursive writing, and is signed by the writer. The text has to do with the use and date of a garment with which it was found. The note is written on a crinkled rectangle of paper. Transcription reads, "The Dress I was married in April 19, 1924 at Petersburg, VA in the home of Rev. Brown. We journed [sic] to Richmond VA where we lived for 1 year. M. Hendricks Boozé."
