Getaway

Dear Mr. Underwood,
 Rose Cottage...how good
 that sounds far from the Strand
 London bridge and our grand
 old city. Hope you like this card
 sending by way of a safeguard
 for our usual holiday away at
 Margate. Put out the welcome mat
6.15 at the railway
 See you Saturday 

Yours sincerely
 Sidney H.G.
July 1904

I have 3 albums of postcards that my grandfather collected as a boy from 1904-10. This London bridge he would have crossed countless times before it was sold in 1971 & rebuilt in Arizona. He did not finish his postcard to Mr Underwood so I have completed it for Kerry’s poetry challenge: ‘Lets send a postcard’
