Many songs, poems and sayings have been written on the letters. Famous songs like ‘Chitthi Aayee Hai’, ‘Chitthi Na Koi Sandesh’, ‘Dakiya Dak Laya’ have become popular on people’s lips because they must have felt the joy of receiving letters at some point or the other. In the period when letters were more prevalent, there was often a delay in receiving letters, but in some time the postman used to deliver them to the correct address. Recently, a letter also reached the house of a person in London (London man got 100 year old letter). But he was not happy to see that, he was surprised because that letter was neither written by any of his relatives, nor was it recent. It was a 100-year-old letter (Lost letter arrived after 100 years) which reached its destination after a century.
According to a BBC report, there is a bungalow on Hamlet Road in South London named Crystal Palace. 27-year-old Finlay Glen, who lives here, is a theater director. In the year 2021, a letter came to his house, seeing which he was stunned. The reason was that it was written 100 years ago i.e. in 1916. Glenn’s senses flew more when he saw the postage stamp (100 year old letter George V postmark) on that letter. It was not the stamp of the Queen of Britain, but of George V.
100 year old letter found
This was the period when two years were left for the start of the World War and George V had already taken over the throne 5 years ago. Although in the UK, under the Postal Services Act 2000, it is a crime to open a letter from an unknown person when it is delivered by mistake, but when Glen saw that the letter was not from 2016, but from 1916, he could not stop himself from reading it. Couldn’t stop. He showed the letter to Stephen Oxford, editor of the local history magazine, The Norwood Review.

There is talk between two women in the letter
Norwood said that this letter was written to a woman named Katie Marsh, who was the wife of Oswald Marsh, a famous stamp dealer of that era. Marsh’s friend Christabel Meynell wrote this letter to her, in which Meynell wrote about being ashamed of herself and also talked about the severe winter of Bath where she used to live. Menel herself was also the daughter of a wealthy tea merchant. It is believed that at that time the Crystal Palace and the surrounding areas used to be the areas of rich people.
Will hand over the letter to Marsh’s family
Glen said that he got good information related to the people of that era from this letter and if any member of Marsh’s family wants to get the letter from him, he will hand it over to them because this letter tells the history of his family. It is believed that the letter must have got lost somewhere in the post office at that time and it must have been found later when the renovation took place.
