Well, the other day I was using it as a bookmark (yes, I'm backsliding, I'm back on the real stuff instead of the Kobo) and I noticed the back for the first time:

I have transcribed it, as follows:
My Dear Ladyfriend
I am writing to let you know that I am quite well, and hope you are the same. We are all very sorry to have lost our dear king. If you can will you come and see me. So now I have said all and remain yours
respectfully Maggie.
and it is addressed to:
Miss Harston
Abbey Wood
London Road
Newark.
The phrase "have lost our dear king" dates the card to sometime shortly after 6 May 1910, when Edward VII died. The rest is a little bit strange. It reads like a young person pretending to be an adult writing to a friend. But I don't think one lady writing to another lady actually addresses the correspondence "My Dear Ladyfriend". But what do I know? I rarely write to ladies.
