Another "found" letter

Or postcard rather. This postcard was addressed to a former resident of my building, who has long since moved out. It's been sitting on top of the building's bank of mailboxes with a stack of other pieces of "return to sender" mail, staring me in the face for several days now. Finally, I could resist no longer, and made the following transcription, leaving the card in situ, of course.

The postcard depicts "Oxford Gargoyles" from All Souls, University College, and New College, and bears an uncancelled 42p British stamp. The text is written in blue ballpoint (biro, I think they'd say) in a breezy, confident hand:

Hey--

I've written about a bazillion postcards so I doubt I have anything creative left in me.

I discovered a new store here called Lush. They sell freshly made, all-natural body cleansers & bath stuff.

Very exciting and [underlined] they just opened a store in SF. We'll have to check it out together.

Love, Michell

Oh man, that brought a tear to my eye.
