From One to the Other

In Cynthia's 2005 autobiography, "John", Cynthia wrote in the caption that this postcard was from Paul. Not so: when you write a note to someone, chances are that you will sign your name first before including other members of the family. Another clue is the handwriting. I have seen both Paul's handwriting and Linda's and this one is Linda's. I also asked two huge McCartney fans for their input and both agreed that this was Linda's handwriting.

Another thing, I find this really interesting. When Linda and Paul got together romantically, John and Cynthia were already divorcing so Linda and Cynthia did not really ever got a chance to social each other as Cynthia used to do with Maureen, Pattie, and Jane at the time (as for Linda, it was Yoko, Barbara, Olivia, as well as Maureen and Pattie). I do know that they have encountered a few times but there's no proof other than this postcard of their relationship whatsoever.

I do know Linda had more contact with Julian though...

It's clearly signed: "Fondly Linda Paul & Kids. Maybe she didn't notice the 'Fondly Linda' part, since 'Paul & Kids' is on the bottom of the postcard and more obvious.
