| Transcript | [Front of envelope] Mr J.A. Smyth Essex Ontario [Stamped] St Thomas DE [-?] [?] [Back of envelope] [Stamped] ESSEX DE 2 03 ONT. [Page 1] Coll Inst St Thomas, Box 1103. Dec 2nd 1903 Dear Brother, Received your letter yesterday or rather the day before. I intended to write yesterday but neglected somehow. Well I am spending a lot of money this last while and still has [sic] not got all I want, With this last twenty dollars I got a hat pretty neat $5 and a fur at $15 I only intended to get one at $10 and have the other $5 for Miss Risdon but I could not get any to suit me at $10 so I had to get one at $15 so that leaves me without again. But Miss Risdon will wait till next pay day if that will be before I go up for Xmas holidays. I was out to a social (Westminster Guild) of Knox church on Monday night we had a very nice time there and quite a crowd. I saw Miss Lottie Scott also heard her sing. I don't think she is anything like the [Greens?] or [Laings?] either in looks or in style. She is quite a nice singer she sang "Comin through the rye" I see Ethel Laing's picture hanging up in Scotts' photograph gallery. I suppose she got it taken in the summer time when she was down. I see you are having your time [pretty?] well taken up with debates. I have not been to the Westminster Guild in [Alma?] Church yet. I promised to go Monday night but went to the other one. I must close now as our period is up I am writing this in school Goodbye M. [Mary?] Smyth |
