Dear Norman -.
I really feel I owe you an appoligy
[apology ?] as a long time ago Mother asked me
to send on the Banner and Observer to you, I
couldn't find your address, and when I did get it,
the papers must have gotten destroyed for I couldnt
find them.
This was to tell you of the death of Jack Treavess,
which no doubt, will be a great surprise.
He had been ailing for some time, and had been to
see the Dr. [Doctor?] and of course you know he was
worried about the farm, and the way Mr Travise was
shoving him.
About March first Dr [Doctor?] Ross told them he
was afraid it was Cancer of the Liver, and sent him to
Guelph for X Ray, and that is what it showed. He came down
to Toronto about the 8 of Mar, took some treatments and
returned home the fifteenth, And passed away I think on
April the 9th you never saw anyone go down so fast, he
suffered terribly at times but just went out like a flash.
Mr Travise has the farm back on his hands, but Bessie is
still in the house.
Audrey had a baby girl on Sun. Shirley Marguerite, and
three weeks ago Sun, her husband was rushed to the Hospital,
and operated on for Ruptured Appendix.
Irvin Perkins have a young son, born on Good Friday.
Alma Kallflusch, who use [used ?] to be Walker was
operated on for appendix about a month ago, so everyone
has their troubles.
The Ayer Family took a motor trip to St John New
Brunswick at Easter, were gone ten days, Olive Schweiber
came down for three days and stayed with me otherwise I
was alone.
Bessie is to Graduate the twenty first of this month.
The folks at home have Victor Willis working for them.
I now belong to a "Hawaian and Spanish Troupe" of
seven, we all enjoy it very much, have been at it for
three weeks.
Jean & Flora have gone home for the summer, as the
Dr. [Doctor ?] ordered Mrs McLeod not to go in the
store The rest of the bunch are about the same
Ruby, Miss Thomas & I were home for the twenty fourth.
This is a hurried letter, but must close, write if you
have time
your friend
Ileen [Eileen ?]
