Employees at the Swansea Building Society in Wales found the postcard addressed to Miss Lydia Davies 121 years after it was sent.
The postcard was dated Aug. 3, 1903 with a stamp of King Edward VII.
The message on the postcard reads: "Dear L. I could not, it was impossible to get the pair of these. I am so sorry, but I hope you are enjoying yourself at home. I have got now about 10 (unreadable) pocket money not counting the train fare so I'm doing alright." The note ends with a request to "Remember me to Miss Gilbert + John with love to all from (unreadable)."
Davies' home was destroyed in a bombing during World War II.
The Swansea Building Society -- which moved into the building 20 years ago -- now has the same address as Davies' home -- which is why it received the postcard -- but the big question is where has it been all this time?
The society is turning to social media to find her descendants to deliver the postcard to its rightful destination.
