"Fer the world is full of roses,

and the roses full of dew,

And the dew is full of heavenly love

that drips for me and you."

"My own Julia- Don't think I've forgotten you but have been busy. Will write later. Write to me - some card rec'd and had a good laugh over there- especially Burt & J. Me, to Jack Eva Hazel and All - Mary", reads the note written on the back.

The postcard is used and is in VERY GOOD condition, wear at the edges, blunted corner tips, a few small creases.
