| Nov 5 at 19:16 | comment | added | Arsak | There was a reddit post about the same issue some days ago. One commenter there posted this link to an old Duden entry that covers this (in section C.c.) | |
| Nov 5 at 18:53 | comment | added | ccprog | @Arsak "frei" seems to be right, edited. As for the name, I remain unconvinced. I have never seen a ß written that way. | |

| Nov 5 at 18:42 | comment | added | Arsak | As I commented on the other answer, I think the name is "Voß" and we see the combination of long and round s to indicate the "ß" in latin script. In addition: I think the last word is "frei" (maybe paying postage was not necessary for this card?) | |
