| Transcript | Front of envelope 1896 Mr James A Smith Essex Essex County Ontario Canada POSTAGE STAMP Newtownstewart Back of envelope Essex MR 11 96 Ont Letters Castledamph, Feburary 27 1896 Dear Brother, I am going to write you a few lines to let you know I am getting along. The weather here now is not very favourable, today, it has been very wet, and it appears to continue. I am attending school each day, unless this week, I was not at it, but I think I will be at it again Monday I did not get a nought for anything, but there was a good deal of 2 s before my name, There was only four failed out of thirty four, so that was not very many. Willie John passed alright. John Charles had not up his days (sic), he had only 96, and he wanted four, so he would not be examined. I am in the Sixth Book second stage. I do not know whether I will get going on to school or not. Eliza would rather that I would stay at home to feed pigs &c, but I would rather go on to school. Did you take the spelling book with you I was looking for it and could not get it as Miss Dunne wants me to learn it. We are done ploughing today, with potato land and all, and every body is nearly done too. I think I will soon close up my short bit of a letter, and I will take my tea as it is waiting for me. I hope you will excuse me for this writing as I am in a hurry to get done with it. I remain your loving Sister To J A Smith Mary Smyth I think Miss [Du--?] has some notion of you yet |
