Description
An envelope addressed in L.M. Montgomery's handwriting addressed to "Geo. B. MacMillan". George Boyd MacMillan (1881-1953) was a Scottish journalist and writer, and a favourite correspondent of L.M. Montgomery. The two were first introduced, by letter, in 1903, through an American writer who was developing a circle of literary pen friends. Although Montgomery and MacMillan only met briefly in-person, during her 1911 honeymoon in Scotland, their voluminous exchange of letters, postcards, and gifts continued until late 1941, just months before Montgomery's death.
This envelope was separated from its accompanying letter and contains several notes in pencil in George Boyd MacMillan's writing, specifically, it bears the message "answered 25/11/1943" which was almost a year after L.M. Montgomery's death.
