Abstract

The historic house Nicholas Abbey is featured in this photo. The residence is surrounded by lush gardens. Front of the card reads : July xxxi. Many thanks for your letter of yesterday and Violet’s little note. I quite look forward to seeing your palatial residence. I should like to know the origin of the name. I have written home all the news which isn’t much. I admire your note paper very much, the attire is very nicely done. So glad A. enjoyed Oxford. W. equally enjoyed taking him around. What a pity they will have to move soon. I can’t think what they last plan is now. Give my love to Austin. I hope he is behaving much better to the children. Love very much. O.

P.S. Get Sel ?? to photograph your house if you can and the family too. This is an undivided back postcard.
