In reply to: Margit 's message, "I am a bit confused. In the EOB William writes Lord John about his love and intentions to marry Dotty, whom he met in a party in New York. This happened early September. Lord John reads the letter early November in his club in London, and decides to go and have a word with Dotty. How can she be in two places in the same time? If we think that she was leaving New York say Mid Septeber, she hardly can be in London for "several weeks having lively social life" in November as is to understand from the text. Has anybody else noted this? So far I understood, sailing from America to Europe took 6-8 weeks." on 23:38:38 05/30/12 Wed

William claims he and Dotty became aware of their attraction at Lady Belevedere's ball, the week before he left for American, so presumably in London. That would have been early spring or summer. William wrote the letter in America in Sept, and it was read by John in London in November.
