The reverse side features a lengthy handwritten message in Italian, dated January 31, 1910 (31 Gennaio 1910), the height of the flood period. It is addressed to Signorina Francesca Alexander in Florence, Italy. The sender mentions that as the recipient likely knows from the newspapers, the flood situation is very bad, noting that food prices have increased significantly and there is a great scarcity of supplies.
