Postcards from Mary Endean (AUST) to Bella Mitchell (UK)
Dec 23rd 1911
We had a good time at Ralph Humble's wedding last Wednesday. What do you think
of this card? Can you pick me out? (ha, ha) The wedding was a swanky affair and
I think they will be sending an account of it to the Morpeth Herald. We are
having terrible hot weather, 106 in the shade today.

Dear Bella
What do you think of this photo? The cow is dull a bit, as it moved a little.
We had the game on to get it to stand. We couldn't get our photos taken with
our own cow when we lived at Shankhouse "eh", so things are looking up
you see.
To my sincere friend Bella

Dear Bella
I expect you enjoyed yourself at Xmas. It was very quiet here. We just sat on
the verandah and sang carols. Jack & Billy Patterson sang solos & then to
finish up with Nix gave a song, so then we had to depart to bed. (ha, ha) We
are going to a picnic at Humbles. Lylie Honey is coming to go too so we will
have some fun. Plenty of boys you know. I wish you all a bright and happy New
Year.
With Love From Mary

Dear Bella
Thanks very much for the nice birthday card you sent me. Take a trip over for
my next birthday Bella, as I will be 21 you know, and I will come into my
money.(IDJ) I won't forget you then - ha, ha. Kind regards to all.
Your ever-loving friend, Mary
