TitleLetter from Ida M[ary] Milman, 22, The Grove, Boltons, to Olive Rucker
CreatorMilman; Ida Mary (1877 - 1950)
Date11 February 1911
DescriptionMentions sending a present to Olive, an etching by W Hollar. Does not know if Olive has heard of Hollar, and goes on to explain he lived in the 17th century and that there was an exhibition of his work at Grafton Street, which she attended and found fascinating. Thought Olive might like it as she knew Olive was fond of etchings. States that the picture will not arrive for a few days as it is being framed, but that she wanted to send a letter first to let Olive know about it since her [Olive's] wedding is drawing near.
