The Aylesbury duck is a distinct breed of domesticated duck, highly valued for its white plumage and pale pink bill, which became a major industry in Buckinghamshire during the 19th century. Condition: There is handwriting on the front in red ink over the printed caption. On the reverse, the postage stamp has been removed, leaving a surface tear in the top right corner. The card shows general edge and corner wear, along with some light foxing and toning consistent with age. It measures 13.5 x 8.7 cm. Philatelic & Publisher: This is a divided back postcard, which was standard for the early 20th century. It is postmarked, though the stamp removal has damaged the area, making the exact date difficult to discern, but it likely dates to the Edwardian era.

She mentions that the weather is grand and they are having a fine time, noting how quickly time is passing. She also expresses hope that Flo arrived home comfortably.
