#83

Received: January 28th, 2013

From: Andrey (Moscow, Russia)

Depicts: Czar Nikolai II leading the troops (1913)

When I got this card, at first I was really sad - it didn't have a Postcrossing ID so I wouldn't be able to register it, and I knew it couldn't be a direct swap because I hadn't asked for anything! Then I looked at the signature and thought I had heard that name before. I looked for it on Postcrossing servers and found out that I had already received a card from that person: Andrey, whom you may remember from a few posts back! I contacted him to figure out if he had sent the card by mistake or something, but it turns out that he was just the sweetest and had just sent the card because he knew I liked royal families and the Czar's era, and when he sent me the other card he couldn't find a postcard related to that. Then he saw this one and sent it out just like that, which was great because it's the only one I've got Czars-related! Of course I thanked him a lot and sent him one back, as a thank! As I've said many times before since I joined Postcrossing: the world is full of good people and I've been really lucky to find a few of them.
