Translated postcard caption reads, " Léopoldville. The Regina Hotel." Accompanying text on verso reads, " Chère Marie et chère Georges, nous sommes bien arrivés à Léo.. C'est splendide et grandiose. Nous sommes assez pris par les histoires officielles mais enfin pas trop! Aujourd'hui: revue. Si vous nous écrivez, adresse: Hôtel Régina Léo. Nous embrassons bien fort nos petits choupets. Bons baisers affectueux aux 2 grands." Translated accompanying text on verso reads, "Dear Marie and dear Georges, We arrived safely in Léo. It is splendid and imposing. We are kept pretty busy with the official stuff, but not excessively so. Today: parade. If you write us: Regina Hotel Leo. We kiss warmly our little kiddes. Kisses for the 2 big ones."
