| Transcript | From: Pittsburgh Date: 20 July 1873 Dear Brother Michael, I received your kind and welcome letter and was glad to hear you are all being in good health as this leaves us all enjoying the same at present, thank God. I am getting along very well and like this country. I got a rise of wages on last Saturday night. I don't know what has come on father, why he never writes to me. I haven't had anything but the one letter from him since I came here. Mother and Rose might write also. You can tell Mrs. Parkinson that Mary and I will send her our pictures. James McKee doesn't like this country at all, but at any rate he has very hard to work. From = past 5 o'clock in the morning to = past 9 o'c[lock] at night is no easy job, and it is not the way he was in Bains. Henry Bradley is doing very well. I haven't seen him this last three or four weeks. We are going to have a great pic-nic in our church on 30th July. Mary Kate, Bill Connolly and I are all for it. Give my love to Mrs. Stewart and tell her I sent the letter to P. I. Watterson as I did not see him in New York. Write soon and let father do it also. Let mother not be uneasy about me as I expect I will get along very well. Your affectionate brother Edward |
