Handwritten letter to Marjorie Finlay, in part: "Some wicked servant shoved your dear little letter out of sight and after much trouble I found it had dropped snugly behind the books on my writing table…with regard to your request about some 'curious' I send you a varied collection of stamps which—knowing young people were fond of collecting—I had put away in a drawer. I hope some of them will be new to you…Aunty Dolly sends her ever sincere love to your mother." In fine condition.
