Fair thought Carol, but I Imagine a Freemason would have concluded with 'fraternally' rather than 'love' ....

...and the Inner Temple is one of the London Inns of Court. (They do have an online database of admissions, but I'm not sure what dates it covers.)

The Inner Temple is one of the four Inns of Court that all Barristers and Judges in the UK have to belong to (I am a member of Inner Temple). The Inns have nothing to do with freemasonary and we do not refer to each other as brothers, although they may have done when Eileen's postcard was written. On the other hand, is it possible that the writer of the postcard was sending it to their brother (sibling) at Inner Temple?
