content: Translated handwritten text on verso reads, "Dakar. January 16, 1916. Dear parents, here is a card of Dakar. We will stay in town until tonight 4:00pm. The country is very nice. It is rather hot. Here is an avenue in which Blacks wear their winter clothes. During summer, they wear lighter clothes. I believe you will get my letter with the same carrier and you should get the one from L?. I hope to hear from you but we are not there yet since we left for the all day. I send you kisses and am very happy with this trip. A. GUSS. Non-commissioned officer, Senegalese company on a trip to Dakar, A.O.F."
