Dear Bessie
Thanks for your views they are very nice. It was good of you to send them. I suppose you will have had a grand day at Rochdale today. Annie and I will come over before long. If you don't object. From your affec. friend Nellie.



Written in 1906 and costing only half a cent to mail, this postcard is from England and was bought at Raphael Tuck & Sons' Real Photographic Post Card shop. The front of the postcard sports the image of Miss Adrienne Augarde. The card says art published to their majesties the King and Queen and that they are of celebrities of the stage. For more postcards by this company with Augarde on it, click here (mine is the second from the top, as you can see).

Unfortunately, I couldn't find the address listed on the postcard.

What a find!

I found this pretty picture of a group of ladies, seemingly having a picnic. What was best about this picture is that I know every single on of their names! From left to right they are Annie, Margaret, Allie, Mabel, Louisa, Hazel, and Edwina! According to the writing on the matte, it is "The Day of the Races". I can't make out what is written below that, except for the word "the", which is useless. The year is unknown as well, but I was so excited to see all of their names written down! Amazing, eh?

P.S. A little bit of (potentially) unreliable information regarding "The Day of the Races", AKA Columbus Day, from good ol' Wikipedia!
