Another postcard from Joe to Rose, I have another one of them here. It’s sweet that he apologies for writing a postcard, as someone has used the writing paper he bought.
Have you sent Fuzzy Wuzzy a P.C. yet?

Maud Jeffries was an American born actress who ended up living and working in Australia.
Winnie, the writer of this card is clearly a fan.
The card was sent to Miss Ogilive in Martinborough, c/- Ross Bros. I wonder if she worked there?
It’s a bit hard to make out, but at the bottom Winnie reports she has “nearly finished my hat”.
This card was a gift from Kathy – I’m not sure where she bought it, so leave a comment with that info Kathy, thanks 🙂
Will call for you about six

Another meeting arranged by postcard – I presume this was hand-delivered (I wonder if it was in an envelope or not, put in a letter box or not?) as there is obviously no address or stamp. Whoever wrote the card for Ruth has noted in the top left-hand corner “Have a bad cold dont feel like walking home”.
Have you got your cows milk yet? …

… Verner (?) would help but he is having a “hog killing time”
And what unexpected things might happen on a train? The chap on the front of the card looks like he’s about to get up to some serious mischief. Seems like a suitable card for a couple of blokes to be sharing.
A gift from Kathy, purchased on her visit to Melbourne, 2008.
Don’t write back now

A greeting from Avonmouth
I purchased this card in an antiques store in Tirau, New Zealand over Christmas. There was a whole collection of postcards from Joe to Rose. I only had time to grab a couple of them unfortunately! This one is the old fashioned equivalent of a text message – arranging a meeting either at the chapel or the “usual place”.
