This postcard was sent by the Nepal Residency to a Gurkha Soldier by the name of Gaja Bir Thapa in Baitadi.
Baitadi in the district with the same name, far west of Nepal, is located near the border to Kumaon (India)
On this postcard the Gurkha soldier is requested to write a report.

As written on the reverse side the recipient could not be identified by Baitadi post office.
Hence after 9 days the card was returned to Kathmandu.
