A picture postcard of Virginia City, Nevada covered in snow. A message is written on the back stating that "there has been $700-000-000 gold and silver taken out of this camp."
Typed onto a piece of paper attached to the image: "Howard Hughes at the microphone, during his brief address at Official Municipal welcoming ceremonies in the Council Chamber at City Hall. In his speech, Hughes disclaimed credit for the flight and heaped praise on the "men who designed and perfected to its present remarkable state of efficiency, the modern American flying machine and equipment."
