| Transcript | Edenclaw January 9th 1886 Dear Bella I avail myself of this favourable opportunity of adressing [addressing?] these few lines to you hoping their arrival will find you and Nancy in the enjoyment of as good health as I would wish you to have. I must say for myself thank God my own health at present is pretty fair of course pulling of all other things preys first upon the constitution however we must not give up in despair but try and console ourselves as best we can not knowing what may be in store for us in the future Dear Bella I hope that country is proving agreeable to you. I heard at least from your Father that you were not quite content where you were and as far as I know of his mind I think he would be wishful you would change ; by other places, to see what you could make of it. Dear Bella enclosed I send you a few verses of a song in regard of old times when we had our joke and chat. If you favour me with a few lines and your adress [address?] I will give you a great deal more information which would perhaps prove useful to you as regards the news of the country there is nothing of importance to tell you of I could relate to you one strange incident. I must tell you wee Peter is not married yet neither is Tom Noble I conclude by remaining your devoted friend Tom McMullin. [McMullan?] |
