This is an undivided back postcard. Back of the postcard: MP £9 (Handwritten in pencil). Phototype Combier Macon . 1d Barbados stamp affixed. Letter reads: I wish you could be here and see all the funny black people carrying baskets of fruit on their heads. Everyone seems to have a little donkey cart. Usually very heavily laden. We drove around the town for about an hour today and got back to the boat in time for lunch. Had a lovely bath yesterday water very warm. Could hardly come out, saw clouds of sardines pursued by a big fish. They all jumped out of the water, every little bit. ?? ?? very well. We both send our love. Your affectionate Jeannie Basch.
