Interesting that this card is the first for over a month. Did she not send any, or are they simply missing from this album? Given teh brevity and tone of the message I highly doubt this was the first time she had written for a long while. As far as I can tell (corrections and additions welcome) this reads: "21.7.15 Papers have been received all right. No letter yesterday as I expected hope to have it today. Everything just the same. Best love Mar" For more details of the story behind this album see www.flickr.com/photos/whatsthatpicture/sets/7215762769463... Sent by a nurse, Margaret Ripley, to her mother back in England.
