signed 'HELEN BRADLEY' and with fly insignia (lower right); inscribed '"Of course ", said great Aunt Jane, when next we saw/her, "I was telling you about God making Earth with all/its flowers, he liked it so much he rebuilt his shed on it, so/that he could water everything, but so much of everything/grew, that his beautiful place was getting overgrown, so/God thought he'd better do something about it, so he next/made animals, all sorts of animals, elephants, horses/and cows, and geese because they liked grass, and lots/of little pigs to turn the soil over. He liked dogs, big dogs/and little dogs, and big cats and little cats, but people/ he hadn't thought about until he saw how lonely some/of the little animals were they needed love, so he made/a rough looking girl called Eve and a fine lad called/Adam. When we took our picnic tea onto the sand hills/at Blackpool we met them. Aunt Francis said to/Mother, "Jane and I don't like that wild looking pair". "No"/ said Mother, "We shall have to find somewhere else"./Mr Taylor (the Bank Manager) was very kind. He took Miss/Carters basket and found us another nice place for our/picnic and the year was 1905." (on a label verso)
