Addressed to Mr. C.C. Barlow
Groton Connecticut USA
Post marked Llandudno Ju 17 12
Dear Claude,
We came here today for our annual holiday & hope to stay nearly a fortnight.
We trust that you & Gladys (is it?) are well. If you happen to have lost my address let May know & she will supply it to you. Perhaps I owe you a letter. But I have been so busy at the office. Today is Herbert’s wedding.
Love
Will
Dated 17/6/12
Notes:
Llandudno is a seaside resort in Northern Wales.
A fortnight is fourteen nights, or two weeks. ... It comes from the Old English and is literally a shortened form of fourteen nights.
This postcard was sent by Claude’s oldest brother Will. He mentions ‘we went’ but I am not sure of who went on this trip. I have several wedding pictures in this album but none are labeled. Herbert is his brother and May is his sister. I am not sure if the date for Herbert and Maude Turner Barlow’s wedding is the 16th or 17th of June 1912.
