Love's Token - in Red

Perhaps not the mood lighting I would choose.  This postcard was sent sometime between 1910-1920, unfortunately the postmark is incomplete.

It was sent to Miss Mackie, 48 Union St, Stonehouse, Plymouth. The handwriting is very nice -  not all of the punctuation which should be included, is included.

The back reads:

Sunday Even. 8th

My Dearest Olive,

Just a P.C. hoping to find you in the best of health as this leaves me at present.  I think its a toss up who will be first at 48 me or this P.C. as can expect to be in for coaling soon so shall I be in time for your next evening off.  I shant say any more at present Dearest. hoping you will excuse this P.C. but the mail closes at nine, so I have got to rush so hoping to be with you soon again.  Believe me your Ever Loving Alf. xxxxxx

"Stay with me, my Darling stay."

Posted in 1905 to Mr S. Witard at Gt Plumstead House.  The reverse reads:
