The image shows a handwritten postcard with multiple fold marks. On the left, there is an address: "James Earl Chaney at 90 S.N.C.C, Meridian, MS, zip code 39301". On the right, the postcard has a message written in cursive, dated June 25th. The message reads: My James, Been down to the trial + to see your grave. Never going back there til I’m dead. Then, at least they won’t have to hate me. Yesterday, the preacher was sent up for 60 yrs. But your brother says he’s not in a forgiving state. I’m just tired + miss my boy. xx Mama" The postcard is stamped from Salem with a USA nonprofit postage stamp. In the background, there is text that reads "James Earl Chaney Foundation" dividing the message and address. The handwriting is informal yet legible.
