Coloured postcard of the view of the Thames from the Terrace and Buccleuch Gardens, Richmond. Ink: Dear Miss Barker / So sorry you have been so ill, do hope you will soon be better With love From Elsie Marley [address in Dulwich supplied].

Among the properties was Buccleuch House, and the fifth Duke of Buccleuch (President of the RHS 1862-73) may have played a part in the development of the gardens
