Abstract

A handwritten letter, on card stock, sent from "The Manse, Norval, Ont", written by L.M. Montgomery to a fan in Australia; letter is dated October 19, 1929. In the note, Montgomery remarks the she since has received "hundreds" of letters from Australian readers since her address was published by a newspaper there. Montgomery also enclosed a signed black and white photo of herself, but asked that the recipient "not let it be generally seen," as she considered most photographs of herself unflattering.
