How to date this letter

It has no date, but the place where Karl wrote it, is “Kingsview, Kingsdom, Sevenoaks, Kent”, what allows to think that she wrote it between July 1937 and 1938. These years Ilona Duczyńska had found a house in the Kent to install her family: “[Their sunny rural little bungalow] was situated in a field overlooking a picturesque valley dotted with oast houses, just at the point at which Kent divided “between the ugly and the beautiful part,” but facing the latter. […] A year later they moved again. [Dale 2016, 139]
