The Pierrots, Tynemouth.

Written on the back of this postcard dated 31 March 1908:

"Dear Gerty, I hope you don't think I have forgotten you. I was very ill on Thursday night after I left you. I was not out until the Saturday night then I was going to have a tooth extracted. Painless extraction "I don't think," I will come up on Wednesday, by the 4.25 from Shields. Might have a trip to the Empire [local theatre] if you care. Your photo came out very nice I was disappointed at not getting up on Saturday with them, love from E. H xxxx" [Probably the Edgar of the previous postcard showing Tynemouth Palace and Sands.]
