Summary
Asking when they plan to visit and assuring them that their rooms are ready for them; adding that he doesn't think there is much wrong with him, but Dr. (Henry) Hick is going to examine him today; concluding "God's a queer bloke. When he starts his old Day of Judgement, he'll get his platform stormed.", with a third postal card featuring a sketch or "picshua" by Wells showing to angels facing one another with flaming swords as God looks on and a couple in grass skirts (Adam and Eve) walk away at left past a signpost reading "Exit".
