It remains unclear why the letter took so long to arrive at its intended destination. If I had to point the finger at someone, I'd probably blame the government.

Just a common 1 penny. I doubt that it would be worth that much in a used condition.
I have some “mint” commons from around the same time. They aren’t THAT rare. But they are interesting.

Send it back. “No longer at this address.”

Postmarked on a Sunday.
The portrait on the stamp is of King George V. My grandfather had to renounce his allegiance to King George V when he became a US citizen.
Maybe they could locate the individuals involved on the 1911 census of Great Britain (if those are open to the public...in the US the wait is 72 years but I don't know what the rule is in Britain).

To: dfwgator
the stamp is worth more remaining on the letter, especially now that the letter has been covered by the media.

More like Prince Albert was 6 feet under. 1916 would have been George V.

It would be nice it they track down any living descendants of the intended recipient (or the sender).

Mailed a friend a postcard from Istanbul in 2019. Couple of years later she sent an email and said you went back to Istanbul? She got the card in 2021.

The letter was addressed to "Mrs. Oswald Marsh" and was made out to "my dear Katie." The sender was identified as Christabel Mennel. Ms. Mennel probably went through the whole rest of her life miffed that Mrs. Marsh never replied to her letter.
