My dearest wee Mother

I was very glad to get your kind
letter last night. Susie wants you to tell
Nan that Elizabeth Sutherland wants to come to tea
on the 10th bringing Pamela in order to see them.
Will she let her know if that is all right for
her? We are tremendously looking forward to
seeing her on Sunday. I think I'd better come
back here from Carlisle on the 10th, as George Brown is
not to be at Parkside that week.

I read the date as 1919 - his 5s don't look like this. Is there anything here inconsistent with 1919?

It must be 1919. The Buchans were still in Portland Place until June that year, and JB was elected to The Club (a place where he frequently met Kipling) in March 1918.

The metadata will need to be amended.

ubuchan

Yes, indeed.
