Item Description

Canada Queen Victoria era cover and franked with an old everyday #77. The real treat here is the story the love letters tell. There are two letters enclosed in the one envelope both from Ginny to Bob. Ginny is giddy in love and keeps calling Bob her husband but it just didn't ring true to me. Ginny lives in Petrolia and Bob lives in London, Ont. and judging by Ginny's writing she is a young lady with lots of issues. The letters were written in Sept-1899. The historical/genealogical record shows that no where in Canada did Ginny and Bob ever get married. In fact, 3 months after these were written Bob marries Mariam, settles down in London and raises eight kids. The marriage license indicates that it's their first marriage each. Ginny disappears from history. Ginny was living in her own wonderland . Bob probably convinced her that they were as good as married and Ginny ran with it right into bed. The end. (285)
