| Transcript | Keandall May 30th 1878 My Dear Father Once again I take my pen in hand to inform you of our continued welfare at home. Everything is moving along as well as could be wished. The weather has been very fine during the past week and crops are presenting a very fine appearance. Mr Wm [William?] Stewart got back from the West on Saturday last. John McLean is improving nicely and is now able to walk around a little. Uncle John's folks are all well and getting along first-rate: The little ones are all contented and happy as the day is long; and nothing accures to mar the pleasures of the scene. We have not yet received a letter from the 'old sod' but hope to have one on Tuesday or Wednesday next; Where are hope to hear of a pleasant voyage across; a great improvement in Uncle John's health; and that you are all having a very pleasant time. This is my third letter to you since you left besides several News-papers, did you receive them all? I suppose there will not be much change in Ireland since you were there two years ago? Are there any of the Irish folk going to come out to Canada when you are coming home? Are you going to Dublin this time or have you seen Uncle John or John Andy? Hoping you are all well as we are at present I remain Yours as ever W J Jennings P.S. Give my best regards to all the friends. |
