Here is my take on the message,
Dear A
We are having a very good time at Mr ?ings The district is also very interesting. We saw John Newcastle & his wife this morning, ? close enough to years (?) with love from various initials.
From old family postcard, I have seen they often used just initials at this time and would often use a shortened form of speech, almost like today’s text speech.
