Business Insider USRed British postal mail box with a hand holding a white letter envelop and being inserting into the deposit slot. The letter's contents are shrouded in mystery, alluding to an unexplained social embarrassment.
It includes the sentence:"I'm feeling quite ashamed of myself after saying what I did at the circle."A 107-year-old letter posted during World War I finally arrived at a London address, the homeowner has revealed. Film director Finlay Glen said the historic delivery of the letter from 1916, which turned up on his doorstep in Crystal Palace, South East London, two years ago.
It has now come to light after Glen involved his local historical society in trying to tell its backstory."We were obviously pretty surprised and mystified as to how it could have been sat around for more than 100 years," with Royal Mail saying they are not sure why there was such a monumental delay in delivering the letter. Letter lost in 1916 delivered in London more than 100 years later.
It begins: “My dear Katie, will you lend me your aid – I am feeling quite ashamed of myself after saying what I did at the circle.â€
