- Title:
- Cards sent to Meriel Forbes by Charles Richardson
- Scope & Content:
- Printed cards and postcards addressed to Meriel Forbes, as "Mamma", from her son, Charles Richardson.
These cards mostly convey good wishes for Meriel's birthday and to mark annual festivals, like Easter and Christmas, although the cards themselves are generally undated.
Charles' messages are usually short and written boldly in capital letters, often with coloured pens. The cards containing longer messages usually thank Meriel for organising a day or evening out, and for gifts, often monetary.
