Some of these were damaged when I received them - someone was obviously a philatelist, and cut off/steamed off/removed the stamps off some of the cards, not only making it impossible to determine dates sent, but also
damaging some of the cards.

Most of these come out of a collection that came down the family line. Most of the cards were sent to one of my Boshoffs, Bessie (Elizabeth Louisa)Boshoff (*12.10.1890), who resided variously at the farms Fonteintje,
Boshoffshoop and Verfkraal near Reddersburg and Edenburg in the old O.R.C,as well as to "in-laws" Bender of the farm Vierfontein near Gum Tree. Station, also in O.R.C. She was my aunt.
