Your loving sister Edie

This is the seventieth card from John P. Goodridge's Edwardian postcard album published on this site. 1904 was by far his most active year of collecting. His half-sister Edith sent 26 of the cards most posted between 1903 and 1905.

One card was sent to his father and three to his mother. Fifteen were sent to his grandmother, Mrs. Povey at 51, George Street.

These postcards give a different perspective of my granddad who I knew only as an elderly man who my brother described here:

"In later life John seemed a private, somewhat distant Victorian figure ('children should be seen and not heard', 'every time a sheep baas it loses a mouthful' etc)."

November 21st 1903 was a Saturday.
