Who are these people? Why don’t they even need to address the postcards? Or in Her case, affix a stamp? I have no idea, sorry.
***UPDATE*** I have added the text of the two postcards ‘in plain’, because I guess they’re unreadable. I’ve kept the font, but you should be able to copy and paste into somthing ugly like Arial if you like.
Sorry about that. If anyone wants to suggest an appropriate measure of correction, just in case I’m not sorry enough? Hmmm….?
From him to Her:
Dear Mistress
i am having a lovely time in Brazil, at the ressort You booked. There are a lot of other men here, some sentenced to staying just a few weeks like me, others for life rather longer. I have marked my room with ‘X’. I spend a lot of time there.
But I go outside too. Sometimes i lie in the sun for hours at a time, not moving a muscle! Sometimes I just run round and round the yard. i’ve been getting quite red in the sun (and out of it), and i’m certainly getting an all-over tan! But i’m not just layzing around! Every morning, we all go for a good healthy run, followed by a brisk outdoor shower. The guards staff here like to keep us on our toes (or occasionally off them)! There are three shifts, so there is always plenty on duty.
So, thank You again for forcing me to booking my stay here. You were quite right – i ’ve really learnt a lot about myself, here, especially about my own self-worth. i won’t say “wish You were here”, but i certainely wish i was with You right now!
Yours (truly!) Servitor
From Her to him:

I received your postcard. I was a little surprised that it had taken you so long to write. Perhaps the staff were keeping you too busy! I’ll call them, to ask.
I was pleased to hear how you have been getting on. I was distinctly less pleased to count three spelling mistakes, a grammatical error and no fewer than eight crossings-out! In your next few postcards, I ‘suggest’ you should endeavour to correct the spelling errors, repeatedly (the usual count!).
Other errors will have to wait until your return. I have made a note, and we shall discuss them with Mrs Lochgelly and Miss Rattan, whom I expect you remember well.
Finally, you really do not need to inform me about your activities, as you know I receive a full weekly report. Simply express thanks.
I remain
your Mistress
