Solution of 1955 letter under a tree in Wolverhampton mystery

A mystery around the 70 -year -old letter found under a tree in a house in Volwarhampton can be solved, after the man’s relatives it was addressed to come forward.

In January 1955, the dated letter was sent to a junior guilt in Stafford Road, Fordhouse, from Torque, a hotel in Devon, which determines the costs of its rooms, and recently clearing some in a house nearby by a gardener.

Mr. Guilt’s niece Carol Griffiths said that she knew that her uncle got married in April that year and the letter would be planning her honeymoon.

He said that his uncle lived in the house, it was found about 10 years ago before his death and said that it was “exciting” to cross it.

“He is John Raymond Gult and his wife was Barbara,” he said.

“The letter is definitely inquiring about his honeymoon because he went to the torque, especially when he was a child.

“They always went there and loved it.”

Gardner Adam Elshaw said that he was working in the garden a few weeks ago when he received a letter, and said that the owners of the present house did not know anything about it.

The typed letter is from a hotel called Ashley Court in torque and is responding to an inquiry by Mr. Guilt about a possible booking.

The letter states that six, seven and seven -and -half -half guinea per person for a week in the room – about 140 pounds – including food.

In the Shropshire, Shifan’s Mrs. Griffith said, “The couple married in April 1955,” As soon as I read it, I knew it would be for their honeymoon. “

His uncle lived in Stafford Road, where his family had run a butcher shop before going to Woodthourne Road in Tetanhall, where the letter was received.

“It was quite a shock to see,” he said.

“This is really exciting and we were saying how strange it is …

“We are all talking about it, and this is a small world because some people I know through a church, which I knew about Adam, who got the letter, so we are in touch and are talking about it.”

As the letter ended out, Mrs. Griffiths said that she believes it was down to the new owners of the house.

Mr. Guilt died about 10 years ago and his wife Barbara died three years ago, and the family sold the house within the last 12 months.

Mrs. Griffiths said she hoped that the owners were taking out the house and it fell out and ended under a tree in front of the property, where it lay down until Mr. Elshaw discovered it.

Mr. Guilt’s son David said that he and his sister Jane were “very grateful to Mr. Elshaw for his hard work and interest”.

He said, “The letter meant a terrible for us.”
