Carissima zia,
da questa foto puoi vedere come bella e grande sia la mia figlioletta!
Pensa che ora (h)a tre anni ed è tanto grande ed intel(l)igente, la più recente è quella di 22 mesi, in questa non aveva 8 di mesi, peccato che il destino è stato tanto avverso con noi che ci ha colpito in pieno in questi momenti tanto dolorosi, del resto mia cara zia bisogna affrontare tutto con la santa rassegnazione. Molti baci da Carletta e da me affezionatissima Bruna.

Dear PippoM,
Thank you for your translation of the Italian handwriting! I hope from this information I can figure out which relative sent it to my grandmother, Giovanna Mazzoli. She was from Narni, Italy.
Best wishes, Jeanne

Dear Giuseppe "Pippo",
I was able to translate this photo card #3 into English online. I believe that it was written to my Nonna, Giovanna Perini Mazzoli, by her niece back in Italy. My Nonna had lost her first son, Gino, to pneumonia (from measles). It was awful. She told me the story herself when I was a teenager. She still cried after more than 60 years. I never forgot that story. From the postcard, it seems that the writer (was it Bruna or Carlotta?) had lost 2 little ones herself. I had no idea what this postcard was about until you transcribed it for me. I have added it to my Family History stories. Thank you very much, Giuseppe! Jeanne
