This post card reminds me of a conversation that I had with an elderly gentleman in December 1990. He had just bought postage stamps for his Christmas cards and was bemoaning the cost. He told me that he his first job had been as an office runner and recalled being sent to buy £1 worth of half penny stamps for his employers cards. In 1913 £1 bought 480 stamps!
Mrs Povey, Jane was Edie's aunt.
22nd December 1903 was a Tuesday.
