In a modern reading
Written communication: letters, emails, documents, forms and certificates. Unlike the Rider, the Letter is about the message itself, not its arrival. [13][14][11]
Text on the 19th-century card
Printed on a French Petit Lenormand (Geûens-Sea, Bruges, c. 1895–1901), Bibliothèque nationale de France [1]
Sans nuages marque un bonheur qui nous arrive par d'agréables nouvelles venant de loin, mais si dans le voisinage de la personne il se trouve de nombreux nuages, elle doit s'attendre à beaucoup de chagrin.
Without clouds it marks happiness arriving through pleasant news from afar; but if many clouds lie near the person, much sorrow should be expected.
