Abstract

A postcard, postdated July 31, 1911, bearing a message in L.M. Montgomery's handwriting addressed to "Mr. Geo. B. MacMillan". George Boyd MacMillan (1881-1953) a journalist and writer of verse and song lyrics, who resided for most of his life Alloa, Scotland, had a voluminous correspondence from ca. 1903 until 1941 (shortly before her death). PARTIAL TRANSCRIPT: "July 31. Pardon this card and pencil. Am writing this before leaving for Melrose to acknowledge your letter. We go north tomorrow to be away until Saturday but send mail to this hotel. We will go to Alloa as arranged. Will write you whenever we get back here. L.M.M."
