Message on reverse reads: "Dear mummy and daddy guess why I chose this particular card. I know you'll like it very much. We can see this marvellous ground from the back. The sun has burnt my neck & a bit of it hurts. Aircraft carrier Theseus is anchored offshore & I wanted a snap of it, but I think its too far out. Sorry this is in pencil. Have no pen. Will ring Tuesday evening! I have worn my low dress without a cardigan. I have been wicked Mr & Mrs Eagle will be glad to get rid of me again I'm sure. Love Catherine. P.s. Remind me to tell you about Miss Ashworth."
