Hjärtlig gratulation på namnsdagen
från Hilda Jansson
Astrid – Namnet infördes på dagens datum (27 november) 1907, då det ersatte namnet Estrid, som en hedersbetygelse åt den svenska prinsessan Astrid, som föddes 1905, och har funnits där sedan dess
Jag vet inte vem vare sig Astrid eller Hilda var.
I albumet sitter kortet bland kort av mycket tidigare datum.
My best wishes on your name day*,
