FOUND ENVELOPE ON MARLOWE STREET

Nina from Stoke

Found walking on Marlowe Street.

If you can tell me what was inside it... then I know it's yours.

Sorry had to open it to find anything inside could give clues to who it belonged too, as writing faded on envelope.

There are names on the postcard... if anyone knows them?
