To Auntie just a few lines to let you know that it took us seven hours to come down. It took us three hours to get to the top of the cutting. I could not ride my bike up the cutting and we all over mud. Mum said you have got to come down on Sunday. Turners’ sale is on and things are cheap. Don’t forget to come down.

Description
Postcard is from the postcard album of Elsie Massey, a girl living on Whana Whana Station, also known as Dot or Biddie. The station cook, Tom Rouse, bought her the album in January 1911 and her collection of postcards and photos includes the First World War. Probably the postcard is written to Fanny Massey by a niece or nephew and the writer has ridden a bike from Whana Whana to Hastings. Turner’s was a drapery store in Hastings.
