A random Ebay search recently led me to this postcard sent to a Miss Hunt of 121 Wilmot Street. It’s dated 1909.

I’ve struggled to decipher the handwriting but this is my attempt !

Dear Liz
I should not have thought that London had exhausted it’s supply of P.C’s. Apparently it has if you cannot get one to send me, I’ll send you home a packet, I received Gilbert’s Postcard of Stan for which I thank him. Today is very misty and stormy. Remember me to Mum & Dad and all at home.
