Addressing communications to the post just for the pleasure of seeing
whether the hard-worked authorities will be equal to deciphering them is
perhaps not very considerate, but the officials are so very rarely found
at fault that the laugh is almost always on their side. This
phonographic post-card was delivered at the house of Mr. E. H. King, of
Belle View House, Richmond, Surrey, who sent us the card within an hour
and a half after he had posted it to himself locally.
