"Dear Uncle (????)
"Received your card Thanksgiving morning but as I stayed away from home and I have been so busy with studies I could not write how nice the cards are, and we thank you very much. Well I will have to close."
Myself interjecting upon the last part, "before I make more excuses about why I couldn't write sooner!" (She's writing it a week after she got it. They always seemed to be busy then just as most people seem to be now. How little things have changed.
As for why she picked a wife beating her husband card, I know not. Maybe she expects the storm from her uncle? Or maybe it was just the first cheap card that she saw on the rack. Speculation rarely is correct.

With the bat or with the moves? LOL.
The man on the card is drunk maybe so is the Uncle! She let's him know that is why she isn't 2
writing?
So she ran out of room to say, "I have to close... a bat to your skull"? LOL.
I love this card.
Thank you, dlpetersen.
