<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 9888627, member: 10944"]I love reading them too. They are often very standard and boring but even those can be fun to read. So many are, “we are having fun, the weather has been good or bad, we saw the castle, we will be home soon, hope you’re well”. Sometimes you get some more interesting ones though. I have a collection all bought by the same lady on an early 20th century “grand tour” type trip. She must have been very wealthy. So they mostly aren’t written on but it’s neat to see everywhere she went. She bought literally hundreds of cards on the trip. She did send some and ended up with some of them back from the family members she sent them too. Then I also have many of the cards she received over the years. Gives you a real look into her life. I’m sure you felt the same about the ones from your family.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
