Thursday, 23 February 2012. To Mr and Mrs Parris, Station House, Catford Bridge, London, SE6 (1935). Rain cut short my activities to-day.

Wednesday, 30 October 2013. To Master E. Macdonald, 17 Portland Squ, Carlisle (1905). A small selection for your collection. This week I saw a report. About the multi-millionaire Paul Lister's plans to reintroduce bears and wolves onto a vast swathe of Scottish countryside, specially adapted for the purpose. I rather like the idea myself, but it put me in mind of a fantastical story from Carlisle's past - the mystery of the Allendale wolf. Was this the end? Postmarked: Carlisle, 10th February 1905.
