Hello Justin,
Yes, looking at the letter "E" in the other words, that is all it really can be, that is now the third time I've just sat there looking at it! I wonder what the original sender and the recipient would think if they could see us all now?

Very interesting postcard which I haven't seen before. Part of the shell that hit the ILH orderly room was sold at the Spink Centenary sale in 1999 (Lot 208).

Okay Paul,
Here is one for you, this one posted on 14th march 1908, presumably the damage had been repaired by then, I wonder if "Caster and Pollux" are still there?
Regards Frank

Hello Brett,

Thank you for showing this postcard. I am beginning to understand why collecting postcards is a compelling hobby!

The Pietermaritzburg Repository of the SA National Archives has two files relevant to the writer of this postcard:

1896 - Oliver Ripton Daniel was in a legal dispute with another man.

1917 - O Ripton Daniel applied for a prospecting permit.

Brett

David,
Thank you for your translation, it is a tricky one!

I first read this as 'Don't shed more hair'!
