Beattie, Annie Elizabeth, c. 1906, Manuscript, D 8781(L)
A collection of postcards received over approximately ten years by Miss Annie Beattie, together a smaller number received by her younger sister, Emmie. The earlier ones to both sisters (approximately 1906-1910) are addressed to 'Dunn Street, Lower North Adelaide' [the family home]; during the same period a few are addressed 'c/- Jas. Marshall & Co. Rundle Street, City' [Jas. Marshall & Co. ran a drapers. importers & general furnishers' business at 24-34 Rundle Street]. There are a number addressed to Annie 'c/- Mrs Bowman, "Poltalloch", via Milang' (ca.1907); others are addressed 'Martindale Hall, Mintaro' (ca.1908-1909). By 1911 Annie appears to have returned to Adelaide. A final postcard is written by 'E.B.' [Emmie Beattie] to Miss Eva Decre. The postcards feature various views of Adelaide and surrounds, together with cards from Mount Gambier, Port Victor / Victor Harbor, Mildura, Kapunda, Wallaroo, Port Lincoln and Quorn.
