Notes and topics
BR thanks her for her reminiscences of Kirkby Lonsdale and wonders if she is the granddaughter of "Herbert Rix, a Unitarian".
In dictation the surname looks like Lechmere-Olsted, but when typed it became Lechmere-Oertel . Presumably Edith Russell, the typist of the letter, took a closer look at the surname. See the dictated copy at record 12664.
She is probably Margaret Haywood Lechmere (1882–1969), who married a German, F.A. Oertel (1862–1942), in 1903.
