[Letter 1]

[Page 1]

Essex, Ont
April 4th 1903
Dear People All :-
I am just after taking a music
lesson and I am glad it is over I always get
so nervous especially when I haven't it [sic]
very well
Well we have got snow on the ground in April
here Yesterday was an awful cold day windy & snowy
Today is much nicer and the snow is fast [melting?].
Well we had April fools here too. A lot was fooled
but I neither made a fool of any one [anyone?] nor
was fooled myself. I always forgot [forget?] about
it.
I enclose one of the invitation cards of
Miss Hall's wedding I did all the writing on
the envelopes for her I suppose I addressed
about a hundred envelopes. They are making
great preparations for it now. They have just
finished the wedding cake four stories high.
I also enclose a piece of my waist [sic].
That I have got made trimed [trimmed?] with
black it is blue

[Page 2]
& cashmere my skirt I will also put in a
piece of it I got it made with a train to it
We got our Easter Holidays on Thursday that
is the last day of school to the 20th I don't
know where I shall spend them but I suppose
in Woodslee I have got [two?] gingham waists
[sic] to make so that will be my first trial.
Well I think I have lost Liza's last letter
somewhere around here so that I can't answer
if there were anything particular in it. There was
another hop in the Town Hall last night but
I did not go. We all played a game of [Fluick?]
instead. It is a game played with cards.
I don't think I've got anything else particular
to say so I hadn't better make the letter to [too?]
heavy.
I hope all are well. Did you stay
for the dance in Sam Dunne's Granary.

Good Bye [Goodbye?]

M. [Mary?] Smyth
