TLS in Polish, signed “Karol card. Wojtyla,” typed on the reverse of a 5.5 x 3.75 postal card featuring a nativity scene, dated “Christmas 1973.” Addressed from Krakow, a letter sent to an unidentified mother and her daughters, in full (translated): “Thank you very much for your expressions of remembrance on the occasion of the holidays.
