Abstract

A postcard, postdated September 2, 1908, bearing a message in George Boyd MacMillan's handwriting addressed to "Miss L.M. Montgomery". 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: "Here's something that will interest you as a Canadian. I am at present on holiday and have been visiting the Exhibition at Edinburgh. It is a lovely sight, they have a fairy fountain which I feel sure would give you ecstasies, Wish you had been there to see it! Will endeavor to describe it in my next letter. Am sending you by this mail, a novelty in postal souvenirs which I trust will give you pleasure. Regards GBM."
