“We noticed that the year on it was ’16. So we thought it was 2016,” said resident Finlay Glen, who was living at the address to which the historic letter was mailed.
“Then we noticed that the stamp was a king rather than a queen, so we felt that it couldn’t have been 2016.”
Although initially Glen and his girlfriend didn’t want to open the letter — noting it’s a crime to open mail that’s not addressed to you — once they realized how old the letter was, they figured it would be OK.The stamp on the envelope featured King George V, was worth 1 pence, and was sent in the middle of the first World War more than a decade before Queen Elizabeth II was born.
According to Oxford, the letter was written to “my dear Katie,” who was a local woman married to Oswald Marsh, a “highly regarded stamp dealer who was often called as an expert witness in cases of stamp fraud.”They said that if the letter isn’t of cultural significance, they would like to keep it.
