I send many greetings to you old people from my sea voyage, I am very well. Today Sunday morning the plane to Germany was sent off. Tuesday at 11 o'clock we arrive in Bremen. See you again in America. Therese
Comment:
The postcard is from the "Turbinen-Schnelldampfer Bremen" (turbine steamer SS Bremen) which made the fastest Atlantic crossing in 1929 (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Bremen_(1928)). The ship featured a catapult for a small sea plane for mail service. This postcard, however, seems to be sent after arrival; it is stamped in Würzburg, a town in Bavaria.
