CLYDE'S POSTCARD TO HOME
BONNIE & CLYDE'S KINFOLK
Both Bonnie & Clyde always kept in touch with their kinfolk


This postcard was sent from Ciudad Juárez in Mexico and postmarked September 30th 1929
and mailed to Clyde's mother by Clyde and Grace (Donegan), his girlfriend out of Wichita Falls.
Grace of course is the name tattooed on his right arm. Grace was well known to the Wichita Falls P.D.
for her narcotics use and for being a known prostitute. She was also a willing informer against Clyde.

CLYDE'S MESSAGE ON REVERSE SIDE OF POSTCARD



Hello Mother, just fine. We are in old Mexico, drunk as hell.
Will see you in about 3 weeks - Clyde & Grace
Addressed to Mrs. H.B. Barrow R6, West Dallas, Texas



Above is a 4 centavos Mexican stamp similar to the one Barrow placed on his postcard.



A little more about Grace Donegan

Grace was the daughter of Virginia and C. S. Alexander, who lived on Third Street in Wichita Falls,
Texas. Grace married Haskell Donegan in 1926 at age 19. They had become separated in 1928.
She then traveled to Dallas to stay with her cousin, Ruby Anderson. Grace had then found work
at the Brown Cracker & Candy Co. She met Clyde at Kate's Sandwich Shop on Swiss Ave. This
was at the time when Clyde was working at the United Glass & Mirror Company which was just
across the street. They had an instant attraction to each other, but it only lasted about 8 months.

Cumie and Grace had a great relationship and she had even stayed at the Barrow family's home for a month.
Grace had kept a number of photographs of herself and Clyde, stored in a cedar chest at her mother's house.

At the request of her mother, she returned to Wichita Falls, where she became ill and before going into
a hospital for an operation, was treated by a doctor who was responsible for her becoming a Morphine
addict. Clyde failed in his attempt to woo her back and she returned to her estranged husband in 1932.
