Dear James Alex
I hope you will excuse
my delay in forwarding you the
book on Composition, but the
firm from which I got it had
none in stock, so I had to
wait until they got them in.
I hope you will like it, and
that it will suit you, as it

[Page 2]
is the best I could get; of
course there are larger ones,
but they do not contain as
much useful information as
this one. I am sure you have
good times there with the young
ladies with whom you are stopping
This is also a very beautiful
place and you might say
there are any amount of nice
young ladies too, of course
I do not mind them much.
I am going on a few days

[Page 3]
leave next month, and will
probably call over to see
your people if I have time
You can write and let me
know when you receive this
as I am just enclosing it
in the book. we are having very
nice weather here now, a great
contrast to what you are enjoying
out there. Hoping you are
well. I Remain
Yours very sincerely
J Ballantyne [Ballantine?].
Write soon
Mr J. A [James Alexander?] Smyth
Essex Ont [Ontario?]
