From an old Times crossword.

Correspondence from one in side(6).

- D - I - Y

I should be able to get this one but I'm not seeing it. Not 100% certain of the D but could be ODDITY?

Any ideas or solutions would be appreciated.

Yes, it could! Thank you Mrs Grundy.

So the D was wrong.
It's one of those clues that follows on from the previous one:

...letter from abroad giving expected termination of journey(3).

I had END which is obviously wrong. So now it is E - A.

ETA

The previous clue was

Native of Central Africa has right to a letter from abroad...(5)

O - A - -

OKAPI

Just two more to go now.
