Inside this letter are six sepia showing different views of the exbition and they are shown below.
As you see the letter was addressed to Mr J McIlroy (Johnny) and posted in Glasgow on the 12th July 1938. Written inside was the following: Spending to day at the Exhibition, this is the warmest day we have had for two months. Helen is with me, we had a nice crossing Glasgow is much nicer than Belfast. I hope you are getting along well & not feeling the heat. Love Uncle Bob. Kind regards to Mr T. Craig.

The Empire Exhibition in Scotland 1938 was an international exposition held at Bellahouston Park in Glasgow, from May to December 1938. The Exhibition offered a chance to showcase and boost the economy of Scotland, and celebrate Empire trade and developments, recovering from the depression of the 1930s.
Sad to say with all this hope for bigger and better things, for just over a year later WWII will have started.

This is Kingsway at the exhibition and just look at the crowds and deckchairs when you need to rest. The parents sitting on the deckchairs (bottom left) need to watch their little girl for the notice says Don't walk on the grass and she can't read yet.
