| Transcript | Owen Sound Novr 27th 1898 My Dear Cousin I received your very kind and welcome letter and we were glad to hear of you all being well as this leaves us all in the enjoyment of one of our greatest blessings good health we have beautiful weather now and about two inches of snow I get the papers you send me all right and we like the pink papers they are so full of jokes and also the pictures of the town hall I get them every week which I am sure is a great kindness of you to send and you may be sure we appreciate them very highly for they almost make us think we are nearer to you than we are, I felt a little dissappointed [disappointed?] that I did not get your picture but I know Dear Cousin that you will send it to me as soon as you get it but I can assure you that we are thinking long to see it and any of the family that would send theirs we would be very thankful for it and I think you are right about me resembling my Grandmother for I have dark eyes like her you wanted to know if my husband belonged to Belfast he was born in Canada and his Father and Mother both came from the County Tyrone his Mother's Maiden name was Margaret Beatty and she came from a place called Sky you wanted to know how my Brother and his family is he has not been to see me this two years and I have not had any letters from him He did not #PAGE 2 want me to know anything about this money nor to talk about it but he used to tell me that it was in the Bank for me and I have began to think that perhaps he did not want me to know that anything was there for me and keep me in the dark about it and it would come to his family as I have none of my own children living I am positive he knows where My Aunt lived and I think he just wants to let it stay where it is and it will be all right some day for his family I am sure it is there and I would like to get what is coming to me. |
