    The inscription (in French) is “Souvenir et baisers de la cousinette” which means “Remembrance and Kisses from the Cousin”

      Thanks for the translation. The young lady’s message makes me think of the term “kissing cousins”. In a way, sending this postcard with it’s photo and sweet words, is a predecessor to today’s text messaging.
