This is one of Jenkin's best photos.

It's hard to know what the writer means about "nerve-racking conditions". The date stamp is incomplete and is hard to read so the card could have been sent in either September, 1938 or 1939. In September, 1938 Hitler marched into the Sudetenland and was threatening war and Chamberlain came back with his famous "Peace in our time" agreement. On September 3rd, 1939 the UK declared war on Germany. Either of those events would be nerve-wracking.

Or it could have been the weather.
