Summary

[edit]
Description

The card was sent from Parker's Hill, Sunningdale, to Mrs Ripley at 49 West Hill, Sydenham, SE26

It reads: "Please note correct address not 'hill' on the Sunning. Hope you did not get a scare last night we heard guns at 8.30 we thought. Am looking for PC [postcard] later[?] from you - no news from France this morning. Kids are very good an obedient. No idea when the others will be back. Love MaR"

I was hoping someone would be able to transcribe the sender's name, as this is the sender of a large number of the 100+ cards in this album. I'd originally thought it might be Mark or Matt, but EastMarple1 (see comment below) spotted the fact that it was to a Mrs Ripley rather than Miss, and that it could be MAR, the initials of Margaret Adele Ripley. So she was the sender rather than the recipient.
