Frame

0492

Untraced

The finish reads “Pink Black White chevrons as prev.” — sheet 0392, received nineteen days earlier, specifies the same chevron scheme by sketch. The 653 in the top corner has a long stroke through it, which may be no more than a pen mark. A telephone number is written at the end of the address line. Deposit received £100.00; no delivery promise is filled in.
