Handwriting Help! Dear???
« on: Wednesday 02 April 14 02:01 BST (UK) »
Hello,

I have an old postcard from 1908 addressed to Catherine who was nicknamed Cassie but the name it is written to doesn't look like either.  Can somebody help me decipher what it says.  Dear ????

Thank you!

Hi RDC.

I think the word you are after is "Niece".

Interesting the notation about the Inland Communication Except for...and dated 08. Useful to know :)

yep, niece it is. Isn't it funny how we can stare at something for ages and as soon as someone else says it it is crystal clear?
