Dear Bro
You will wonder
why I did not go up to
Essex [Satu?] [Saturday?] night last well
when I got my supper & all I felt like having
a rest so I postponed the journey however I
intend to go up there to morrow [tomorrow?] &
I expect my new suit will be there by this time
I am working out at Wakerville every day.
I had a letter from home [Bell?] sent it on I
think Eliza intends going through the operation
I have just got 3 letters since I came out
here I send one every week I sent two newspapers
I was out at Belle Isle Sunday the clerk in the
C P R [Canadian Pacific Railway?] & I went up
great crowd of people.
I am thinking of going up to board in Wakerville
I could get board beside the new school where
Ill be working in a few days Its a very nice
house. I have a trouble (sic) some time with my
toes scalding I cant bear my shoes.
I saw Frank Green & the daughter I forget her
name I dont think the [they?] saw me I was
coming of [off?] the car at the time.
If nothing happens you may expect me Saturday
night I dont know if I can catch the 6 Ill
try.
Good by [Goodbye?]
Your Bro
J C Smyth
