I was reading something and there was this sentence.
On receiving a letter from Bogle, Lady Tichborne sent enough money to pay for the fare back to England.
What does on mean in this sentence?

The relevant definition is used as a function word to indicate a time frame during which something takes place, or an instant, action, or occurrence when something begins or is done on cue. But on has so many definitions it would be hard to pick the right one if you didn't already know!– stangdonMay 1, 2021 at 16:39

It means 'when she received the letter'. Presumably Lady T. sent the money in response to a request in the letter.
