The postcard, sent from France, was addressed to Mr. William Ponder, MP, with a message in short hand, referencing the death of the 24th Premier of South Australia, Thomas Price in 1909. The transcript reads, "Paris, 21.6.09 / We continue to have a very good time, and we have been to look back at the view we had at Scheideff of the Jungfrau and other scenes as the best of the we have ever seen. We stayed at Lucerne and Interlaken a week each. We have been here a week and find the place very interesting; so much to see and not time enough every day. / We are going to a grey London today and looking forward to a great time there. / So, the sad news about Mr Price; was afraid that was going thus in life, but still find it hard to believe that he has gone. / I see too the changing in the government, but nothing further as there is not much news as you know, in the papers from England that this far. / We have had a few wet days but not to trouble us. Most of the weather has been like an Adelaide spring day. / What do you think of us as Messengers? / Kind regards from both.

Amongst other things he describes the bank building where they were to live. It seems that Richard remained at Yongala and his wife Ellie moved to Unley with their three children. Their youngest child, nicknamed Wally, enlisted in WW1 and his letters from France and the front line and from England when injured are included in this group. Also comprising obituaries and newspaper clippings relating to the Wurm and Yeo families in South Australia, family member calling cards, invitations, and a poem sent to Ellie Wurm and written by Dean Russell.
