Help translating Italian postcards - Set#2

Post by don_pa69 »

Hi,

I would like help translating these postcards. This is my second post of postcards that my cousin sent me photos of. The first set was posted in https://www.italiangenealogy.com/forum/language/47333.

Thank you for your help!
Don

The first one: "Dear Mum, I'm fine, and I hope to hear from you and family. Greetings to all. Lizzie."
The third one is from "Comare" Carmela; "Comare" is literally a godmother, but this word was also used in the South, to mean a person one has familiar behavior with. However, it is of the "Hello to you all" kind.

The second: "I received your postcards. You can't imagine how time seemed to me to be long, yesterday and today, and how the days that still have to pass seem to be long. Sunday night at 8.10 a butterfly ???? your reply. Greetings from your husband. "
