what the card says to us

The picture of Portsmouth Town Hall seems to have no connection to the people or the message.

The message is fascination and if only we knew who sent it, who Marjorie was, and why she may or may not be going to Hastings.

And what is meant by Sunday League in 1910? Is it a religious reference?
