Postcards from my collection;
A set of six postcards sent from Charlie to Maudie during February and March 1904. You may remember a previous post about Charlie and Maudie here
Dear Maudie, I'm sure this sweet set will please you. très bon! With love Charlie
Dear Maudie, only 7 weeks to Easter!!! It’s pouring with rain again and I’ve been playing all the funeral marches I’ve got to cheer me up. It seems like sacrilege to play anything more lively in Godalming. Metcalf has just started on an eight mile tramp through the mud, so we’re all happy. Adieu pour joyous! Charlie.
Dearest Maudie, I was quite overwhelmed with gratitude to receive such a beautiful card from you this week. It’s too kind of you and I shall never forget it. (You don’t mind me mentioning that I had that one already, do you?) Easter is getting nearer and nearer. Doesn’t the tempus seem to fugit? Metcalf went to a dance last week he can’t dance, so he wallflowered and talked scandal with all the other old women. With love, Charlie.
Dear Maudie, the C. M. will do very well, thank you. I haven’t quite decided yet what I shall send you when this set is finished. I’m not going out at all on Monday, as I’m sure to be in great demand. Who is the luckless wight you mean to fix? Love Charlie.
Dear Maudie, only four weeks to Easter! I suppose it wasn't you who wrote to Metcalf on the 29th? He didn't have a chance of accepting, as he could not recognise the writing. Isn't the weather simply lovely? With Love Charlie.
Dear Maudie, this is the last of this sweet set. How quickly the time does go, doesn't it? With love, Charlie.
Thanks for spending some time with Maudie, Charlie and me...
I purchased these six postcards, and the previously featured set from an auction. I've often wondered about Charlie and Maudie and decided to see if I could find out anything about them. If you would like to know more, please pop over to my family history blog here (You will need to scroll down the post to read the rest of the story)
Thanks for spending some time with Maudie, Charlie and me...
