And for those interested. I purchased a lovely postcard sent to New Forcett from Pietersburg in 1912 on with an old 1/2 penny Transvaal stamp.
It was sent to C.B. Somers, New Forncett, Boston, Natal and  from a child at school in Pietersburg back home discussing the break up of school soon.

Hi Maurits any chance of scanning the card for us to see. The Somers referred to is a relative of mine who lived at New Forncett farm.
