: Now Ready: Kilmeny of the Orchard.; A postcard, postdated May 10, 1910, bearing a message in L.M. Montgomery'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: "Thanks for '[?] literature'. Shall be sending you copy of 'Kilmeny' soon. Hope have a lovely spring. L.M.M. P.S. Isn't it sad about the King!", L.M. (Lucy Maud) Montgomery., L.M. Montgomery Institute. Ryrie-Campbell Collection., Donated by Donna Jane Campbell., Montgomery's postscript presumably refers to the passing of King Edward VII, who died on May 6, 1910.
