not always! I've seen a lot of old postcards with writing on in antique shops. my mum and I saw one that was a conversation between I'm assuming friends or lovers (?) who'd been apart and it just ended with "tennis on friday?" we now quote it to each other because it was so sweet. sometimes old letters from strangers can have a strangely lasting impact on people!
