This postcard was sent on 19 March 1903 from Warsaw to Markus Blumental (his name was still written Blumenthal at that time), who was then staying in France in Oyonnax, a town in the Ain department of Auvergne, southwestern France, in the Jura Mountains, near the Franco-Swiss border. | This is a letter from “Your Helena” - probably a fiancée (or wife), who wrote: “Your elder brother has just called on us and he gave me 30 rubles, for which I [...] cordially thank you Markus, as I was penniless.” | The choice of the postcard with a photo of a girl in a kerchief, captioned A MIRACLE IS SAD, was not accidental, because the question was: ”Do you find the card nice?” | Renata Piątkowska
