Hello!
I'm hoping someone can translate a little French from the front of a postcard for me.
I haven't had to do french for nearly 30 years and even then I was rubbish!

Many thanks in advance!

Cheers! I didn't know about the google translation thing - will use that in future!
My problem now though is deciphering the squiggles that are meant to be letters!
I'm not very good at reading Victorian either!!

It's been a while but heres an attempt....
" I sent you a card the day after you left Saumur? and one of Edinburgh too. I've not received the letter only a card from you today for which I thank you a lot.
If I don't receive the letter I'm afraid you'll have to write me another.
A big kiss to dear Margot from her little ?? Elfie 30th August 1902 "
