what the card says to us
The picture shows the actress and music hall star Marie Studholme (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie_Studholme) and this is referred to in the message.
Alice and Jane were of a similar age and the message suggests that they frequently corresponded using postcards.
The message also mentions members of the extended Wrathall family, namely uncles John, and Edward plus Isaac. The extended family is very large and here are suggestions as to the identities and these 3.
Uncle Edward is probably Albert Edward Wrathall (1872-1931).
Isaac is probably Isaac Dickinson (1842-?) who was the brother of Jane's mother Emily Bargh Dickinson.
Uncle John is harder to identify as there are a number of candidates none of whom appear to live in Bradford.
