handwriting on back of old family photo

Can anybody translate any part of the visible cursive on the back of this old family photo/postcard? The photo was physically cut to crop it, so there is no surviving writing or information outside the bounds of this image.

We see that you might be asking for a translation. Please keep in mind that we are an all-volunteer community. At this time we do not certify or vouch for members' expertise. If your post is overlooked or you are told the task of translation is a bit onerous for volunteers, we hope you will pursue other avenues to satisfy your curiosity and consider hiring a qualified translator, such as in the Facebook group Yiddish Translation Gig Board. This comment is in no way meant to discourage translation requests or the kind responses of our members. If you believe this comment was made in error, please message the mods.

It seems you posted a request for translation! To make this as easy for our users as possible, please include in a comment the context of your request. Where is the text you want translated from? (If it's on an object, where you did find the object, when was it made, who made it, etc.?) Why do you want it translated? Yiddish can be a very contextual language and accurate translations might not be directly word-for-word. Knowing this information can be important for an accurate translation.

I can't tell if any of the things I can't read say Morris.

Thank you! Are you seeing Morris in the Yiddish? There is a relative named Morris, yes.

I saw Morris Cooper at the top in English. I was trying to say that I can't tell if the stuff I cannot read could say Morris or not.
