Hand-made greeting card made of ruled paper folded in half, book-like. The front has a Thanksgiving day greeting from Joseph H. McGlaughlin to Clara (Weinhold, whom he later married on March 30, 1893). Decorative outside border is "ribbon-work", a style of penwork likely developed by McGlaughlin himself.
Greeting is "To Clara. / This is Thanksgiving / Day. / May you live to see / many more. / Your Friend, / Jos. H. McGlaughlin / Conestoga, / Pa. Nov. 28, 1889".
Inscribed in a florid hand in ink is "Leacock, Pa., Nov. 28, 1889. Dear Clara, this motto which is a part of my work on this holiday, I dedicate to thee, that thou mayst remember me. Your Friend. Jos. H. McGLaughlin" and lower is "To Miss Clara Weinhold, Leacock, Pa."
