A post card from Mother, Emma Goodridge to John when he was visiting his aunts, Sarah and Fanny in Horsham. Later in his life, he recalled that he generally spent the summer holidays with his maiden aunts or otherwise stayed at home. In August 1903 he was thirteen.
Mrs. Goodridge failed to put a postage stamp on the card so a 1d. penalty charge was made. There are two round post marks, Brighton at 9.30 am and Horsham at 12.30 pm.
August 26th 1903 was Wednesday.
