This postcard bears the address, "Mrs. E. M. O'Connor, | 1015 O st. near 11th N. W. | Washington, D.C." It is postmarked: "Camden | (?)| 3 | N.J."

This postcard was apparently written at the same time as Whitman's March 3, 1874 letter to Abby H. Price since both allude to the "bad spell" of February 1874. Note that in his letter to Price, Walt Whitman referred to the receipt of a letter from Ellen O'Connor.
