the message

"Home tomorrow"

the sender

There is no name on this card. However the way the address is written identifies the sender as the same person who sent another card to Daisy. Unfortunately the signature on that one is illegible.

what the card says to us

The picture is of Marie Corelli's House in Stratford-Upon-Avon (or On-Avon as it was called in 1908). Marie Corelli (1855-1924) was a best selling novelist (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie_Corelli) who lived in Stratford from 1901 until her death. She must have been popular to have a card made from a picture of her house. It was posted in Leamington Spa which is not far away.

The message simply says "Home Tomorrow. It was sent 3 days after another card from Stratford to Daisy from the same sender who is presumably on holiday. If only the signature was legible.

Of course the reason the message is so short is because this postcard, with no publisher printed, instructs the sender to only put the address on the reverse. Where are they expected to include any message? The only place is the front and how do you do that without drawing on the picture?
