That looks more like a "J" to me than anything else.
The cancellation is odd. The most significant circle date stamp seems to show a 10pm time. It is a bit difficult to read because of underlying print. The circle date stamp on the right edge has a 9 visible, which would be 9pm ??? That post card would not have received a machine cancellation for delivery. The CDS would have been at the time of posting.
I think the writing is contemporary with the posting of the card. But that could have been added weeks, months, or even a few years later. Again, it looks contemporary to me.
I do think the penciled labeling is incorrect. I don't think that's an "F", it looks like a "J".
