On Sept. 25, 1910, Montgomery wrote in her journal:
“To-day I received a very bright, amusing, interesting letter from a girl sixteen in faraway Australia. It was a pleasure to read. I get so many such letters—two or three almost every day. Some of them are lovely, all are kind…So far I have answered all with a note at least but I am finding it a good deal of a tax. In future I must make post-cards do duty instead. But the little Australian must have a real good answer to hers. What a small big world it is! And how far little red-haired Anne has travelled!...”
