My grandfather writes:
"PWD, Saturday Aug 9th. [this would have been in 1924]
My dear Mildred, I don't want to disappoint you and another mail leaves this morning. Was ever so glad to get your letter of July 7th which was somewhat delayed, and now I've just got another one since I started writing this p.c. postmarked July 15th".
The rest is just replying to his wife's news. Most of his postcards are blank on the back and were just enclosed with the letters, which we sadly no longer have.

The wooden-roof tram was…
The wooden-roof tram was introduced in 1923. The writing of the postcard dates it to 9th August 1924. Maybe the photographer wanted to capture both the older model single-deck tram with the 'modern' and newer wooden-roof tram in a single photo. The photo is probably dated 1923.
