Help translating Italian postcards

Post by don_pa69 »

Hi,

I was wondering if someone could help me translate these postcards. My cousin shared these photos with me. They are from around the 1910s. Thank you for your help. I suspect it's the normal postcard messages of "say hello to everyone for me". There are seven postcards so I'll post them in a couple of sets.

All of the postcards are available at https://app.box.com/s/rzd2wgvftrht2qg7owvthcnrw9ik1ios.

I attached the first three.

Thanks again!
Don

The third one is, as you say, of the kind "say hello to everyone".
The first one says "my dear niece*, I arrived at Naples on day 14, and we had a good journey. I'm writing this postcard from Naples, but in a few days I'll write again, and let you know all". Then the usual greetings.

The second is harder to read, as it's faded. At the beginning it's of the kind "I'm fine, and I hope you all are fine, too". Thenhe says he can't forget...and sends kisses to her little child.
