This is a beautiful day lovely to be out. Annie and the boys are for going to Leamington tonight and they are for packing up all as they are for going to St.Thos [Thomas?] by the 1st May. Glenn left me down at the [station?] this morning. They are getting to be big boys. We were making arrangements yesterday that Annie and the children would go over when I go. So some fine morning you might get a surprise between now and three years when we would go in on you. I tell you the first thing to do is to put up a closet What Jim was talking about. I want you to have that sure. Everything else would be bad enough but that would be worse. I would like to go home this summer but I don't think I will I don't know what to do after holidays I always get stuck about that time but I think I shall go to Business College I was dreaming last night that I was at home and that Liza was going to get married but we were all against it April 21st: As I suppose you all remember that this is my birthday. I expected a letter last night and tonight but has'nt got any. I suppose I will get it tomorrow when this is posted. It is about 8 [o'clock?] now and I have not got any studying done yet as after supper we had some music by a Mr [Daykin?] who is taking his meals here for a few weeks. He is a splendid singer. Mr and Mrs Bennett is also here yet They have not moved into their own house yet as they are having some work done to it before they are going in to it This day was quite cold and I have got a cold a coughing one I had one about a week ago and now I've got another and I tell you it is not very pleasant. I think I shall make this do for the present. So Good Bye M [Mary?] Smyth. (Written Upside down Top of First Page) I feel A kind of afraid So I guess I wont send this inside the paper and it seems so little in a letter but I have not time to [Write?] anymore. Good Bye M S [Mary Smyth?] (Written Upside down Top of Second Page) I am sending this [inside?] the paper You Can See where marked [Our?] results of the [exam?] You can let Mr. James see it also Miss Dunne [if?] [convenient?] |
