Miss Edna Robbins lived in East Las Vegas, a town on the Gallinas River in north central New Mexico.
East Las Vegas is now part of the city of Las Vegas, New Mexico.

In March of 1909, Miss Robbins received a postcard from C. F. L.
The postcard was mailed from Ottawa, a city on both banks of the Marais des Cygnes River in east-central Kansas.

The face of the postcard is a ponderous verse by Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
In her youth, Wilcox gained a reputation as a poet, having sold several poems to newspapers.
She published several collections of verse, and later became involved in Spiritualism and with positive thinking.
Wilcox was a prolific writer of inspirational mottoes, poems, and essays.
In the early 20th century, she had a significant readership; the appetite for didactic and prolix inspiration has shrunk significantly since that time.

I was attracted to the postcard by the decorative border, with its twining of daisies in an Art Nouveau style.
Here is a Google search definition of Art Nouveau:
“Art Nouveau style is inspired by the natural world, characterized by sinuous, sculptural, organic shapes, arches, curving lines, and sensual ornamentation. Common motifs include stylized versions of leaves, flowers, vines, insects, animals, and other natural elements.”
(I am not a fan of Ella Wheeler Wilcox, but I believe that a postcard collection should reflect, to some extent, the prevailing tastes of the times.)
On the reverse, C. F. L. did not inscribe a message.
We are left to wonder if the verse had some special reference to Edna – perhaps Miss Robbins was overcome by pining or disappointment.
One hopes that Edna was delighted by the postcard and that she and her correspondent enjoyed a wonderful Spring in 1909.
