Dear Alice
Just a card of the Billiard Room, only I'm not allowed in it as it is only for men. Worst luck as you know how I like a game of Billiards when I was at the Club.
I get these cards from the Home.

If you want to know what it was like for women before Equal Rights, here it is in a nutshell...this woman is paying to be in a private hospital. She has something very serious, probably TB, and could be dying...and she can't play billiards because it's only for men.
