[On front of postcard]: Can you hear the pussies snoring? J. E. Sayer

[To]
Miss Gladys Callaway
5, Brackley Rd.
Buckingham.
[Normally I don't comment on the postcards I present on this blog, but this one was so definite I had to give some additional information. Gladys, according to the 1901 England Census, was likely the daughter of William and Elizabeth Callaway. The family lived at the above address at the time of the census. I would date this postcard to somewhere around 1903. You will notice that the back is undivided, and the words "Post Card - Great Britain & Ireland. The address only to be written on this side" was the usual phrasing of Blum and Degan Postcards so it may be one of theirs.
