VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997. We are one of the few services online who values our users' privacy, and have never sold your information. We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Adeline Genee
15th Oct, 1907 I received your nice PC with thanks. Excuse me for being so long in answering but I did not think I was owing you one. I have not had a PC from Imlach yet. I think I will send him one and ask if the stamps are all sold out in Fraserburgh. Tell him you get a score of P.Cards here for a 1/2.
With love from Joy
I could make a stingy Scotsman joke about him waiting for a letter to steam the stamp off, but being of Scots ancestry myself I wont. Anyway, 20 cards for a half what? half a crown, half a sixpence, half a pound of sprouts, what?

1/2 surely means 1s. 2d. (i.e. one shilling and "tuppence", or two pence if you prefer)
