Another post card from V Mursell, this one to Alice Langford. The message on this card appears to suggest that Miss Marchant & Co was an address that the sender hoped that it could be used as a 'post box' for the Langford sisters.

All Saints' Church, Brixham

A post card to Mr & Mrs Williams at an address in London from WRW. Were the Williams' visiting London, the message would seem to suggest that they knew the church in Brixham, why may they have been downhearted?
