Photo Number 269

This real photo postcard is in pretty bad shape.  However I thought it was interesting enough to purchase.  I find foreign languages to be a mystery.  Can anyone read this card?  I had my Dad look at this car he thought it was an Overland..but I think it is foreign because the steering wheel is on the right.  I like the ladies hats..do you suppose that this vehicle was a prop in the photographers studio? 


Thanks for stopping by, do come again! :)
Updates:
From Crex: The postcard is sent by one of the women in the picture. She has been sick. The man is her son, I think.
From Iggy: A very rough translation would be:

Here, I send ugly ghosts of me and my boy and Marie Darb to you.

We went by train(?) from Wonderland for a while ago. I was ill the summer so I'm so "daurlig" out there, but now is am a little better hope I get care fresh now. They were bad you do not like you really good when Johan? For sometimes falls always wings(?)

I was sick this summer, so I look bad in it. I have now recovered, hope i can stay well now.

Because time always seems longer.(goes slower)
