Description
A postcard, postdated September 21 1911, bearing a message in Ewen (Ewan) Macdonald's handwriting addressed to "Mr. 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.
PARTIAL TRANSCRIPT: "London Sept 21 - 1911 Dear Mr. M. I am writing this note at Euston Station while waiting for our train. We leave for the Adriatic, our trip has been a very enjoyable one; with kind regards from us both. E. Macdonald"
